Answer:
<u><em>But where do we go from here? </em></u>
It depends on the result of more government intervention on quality life standards.
<u><em>Do we need less or more government involvement? </em></u>
It depends on the problems that need to be addressed. For example, to address problems such inequality it is mandatory that the government gets involve and create laws to prevent it. But surely for more movement of capitals there is no need of higher government involvement.

In this aspect it is important to mention the environmental issues in nowadasy economy. If the measurement of what is defined as "cost" is understand in the long run as conservation and balance between nature and economic explotation of resources.
<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.
Answer: $489,000
Explanation:
Amount of sales required = (Fixed cost + Desired operating income ) / Contribution margin ratio
Contribution margin ratio for Cover-to-Cover Company:
= Contribution margin / sales
= 77,800/ 389,000
= 20%
Desired operating income = Current income + income increase
= 58,350 + 20,000
= $78,350
Amount of sales required:
= (19,450 + 78,350) / 20%
= $489,000
