Question

The owner of Genuine Subs, Inc., hopes to expand the present operation by adding one new outlet. She has studied three locations. Each would have the same labor and materials costs (food, serving containers, napkins, etc.) of $1.76 per sandwich. Sandwiches sell for $2.65 each in all locations. Rent and equipment costs would be $5,000 per month for location A, $5,500 per month for location B, and $5,800 per month for location C.
Determine the volume necessary at each location to realize a monthly profit of $11,000.

Answer 1

Answer:

Sales quantity for A = $17,977

Sales quantity for B = $18,539

Sales quantity for C = $18,876

Explanation:

Given that

Monthly profit = $11,000

Fixed cost A = $5,000

Fixed cost B = $5,500

Fixed cost c = $5,800

The computation of given question is below:-

Every Sandwich Profit

= $2.65 - $1.76

= $0.89

Sales quantity = (Profit + Fixed cost) ÷ Profit per unit

Sales quantity for A = ($11,000 + $5,000) ÷ $0.89

= $17,977

Sales quantity for B = ($11,000 + $5,500) ÷ $0.89

= $18,539

Sales quantity for C = ($11,000 + $5,800) ÷ $0.89

= $18,876
