Answer:
The answer is: a change in the price at which a substitute good is sold
Explanation:
A shift in supply means a change in the quantity supplied at every price.
Let's assume we sell product A. If the price of a substitute product B increases, then the quantity demanded for product A will increase as the quantity demanded for product B decreases. That will cause an increase in the quantity supplied of product A, which may in turn rise the price of product A until again both products (A and B) match their prices.
Instead, a shift in the supply curve means that the quantity supplied of a product will change at every price level.
<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>
Breakeven point = Fixed cost divide by Contribution margin
Contribution margin = Sales minus Variable cost.
Fixed cost
Particular Amount
Salaries $5000
Utilities $1100
Depreciation $1200
Maintenance $780
Total Fixed cost = $8,080.
Variable cost =Maid services plus Other cost = $7 plus $13 = $20
Contribution = $40 minus $20 = $20.
Breakeven point in number = $8080 divide 20 = 404 rented rooms per month.
Breakeven point in $ = Breakeven point rented rooms × rent cost.
=> 404 rooms multiply $40 = $16,160.
