Answer:

a. Would Mountain Point emphasize target pricing or cost-plus pricing? Why?

  • They emphasize cost plus pricing because the investors are seeking a desired rate of return on their investment and they do it by adding the desired profit margin to their costs.

b. If other resorts in the area charge $66 per day, what price should Mount Snow charge?

  • $75.50 in order for them to generate the required ROI. Since the resort has a very good reputation, it can charge a higher price than its competitors.

Explanation:

company's assets = $115,000,000

expected return on investment = 16%

fixed costs = $35,600,000

number of customers = 800,000

variable costs = $8 per customer x 800,000 = $6,400,000

total costs = $42,000,000

total cost per client = $42,000,000 / 800,000 = $52.50

desired profit = $115,000,000 x 16% = $18,400,000

desired profit per client = $18,400,000 / 800,000 = $23

price per ticket = $75.50

miskamm [114]

C. Charles should forgo renter's insurance if the premiums will quickly overtake the value of his belongings.

Renter's insurance is a useful and valuable tool to protect tenants against loss  or damage of  their property, and is a wise purchase in most cases. However, if you are paying more every month in your insurance premiums than the total value of the goods you are protecting, the insurance may no longer be worth the cost.
