The sequence is given to be:
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is calculated using the formula:
where a₁ is the first term, n is the number of terms, and d is the common difference.
From the given sequence, the following parameters can be gotten:
Therefore, the parameters can be substituted into the formula to find the 52nd term:
The 52nd term is -438.
Answer:
The number of customers needed to break even is
Step-by-step explanation:
Rent per month = $ 7200
Rent per year, $
= $ 86400 -------------(1)
Insurance per year = $ 4200 ---------(2)
Total direct cost for 2 servers (withoout tax) per year,
= $
= $ 60000
Total cost for helper ( without tax) per year,
= $
= $ 15000
Total cost for employees per year (without tax),
= $ (60000 +15000) = $ 75000
Total cost per year for employees including tax,
$
= $
= $ 80737.5 -----------------------(3)
So,
total cost for running the restaurant (except food)
= (1) + (2) + (3) = $
= $ 171337.5
Average total profit per customer,
= ( Average per customer payment - average cost of food per customer)
= $ (45.47 - 20.18)
= $ 25.29
So, total number of customer needed to break even,
=
\simeq 6775
