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
