For the soap making opportunity she anticipates annual revenue of $465,000 and costs for the necessary land, labor and capitol of 395,000 per year. For the internet opportunity she anticipates costs for land labor and capitol of$ 3,250,000 per year as compared to revenues of $3,275,000 per year. Should she quit her current job to become an entrepreneur? If she does not quit her current job which opportunity would she pursue?

Answer 1

Answer:

She should quit her job, become an entrepreneur and  choose the soap making for the highest profit/ income of $70,000

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate Natasha's annual profit if she should start the soap business

The annual profit from Soap Business = Annual Revenue - Costs for the year

The annual profit = $465,000- $395,000 = $70,000

Step 2: Calculate Natasha's annual profit if she should start the internet opportunity she anticipates

The annual profit for the internet business = Annual Revenue - Costs for the year

= $3,275,000 - $3,250,000= $25,000

Since she is to make a choice between three options,

1. Manager Job per year = $50,000

2. Soap Making= $70,000

3. Internet Opportunity= $25,000

Then she should quit her job, become an entrepreneur and  choose the soap making for the highest profit of $70,000
