Normal 1.2 58 18.4 0.33 6.072
Recession 0.75 49 (0.5) 0.33 <u> (0.165)</u>
Expected HPR 14.49%
<u>Calculation Of Standard Deviation</u>
(A) (B) (A) - (B)
Given return Exp return d p 
60 50 3 26 14.49 11.51 0.33 43.718
58 50 1.2 18.4 14.49 3.91 0.33 5.045
49 50 0.75 (0.5) 14.49 14.99 0.33 <u> 74.15</u>
Total
= 122.91
wherein, d = deviation
p = probability
Standard Deviation =
=
= 11.08

<u>Working Note</u>:
Holding period return = 
Boom =
= 26%
Similarly, for normal =
= 18.4%

Answer:
(1)
Fees revenues 42,600
Total expenses 1.92 x 4260 = 8179.2
<em>Net income 34,420.8</em>
<em>(2)</em>
Fees revenues 42,600
Variable cost 2,982
Contribution Margin 39,618
Fixed Cost 14,400
Net Income 25,218
Explanation:
(1)
We multiply by the garment cleaned
10 x 4,260 = 42,600
0.7 x 4,260 = 2982
and distribute the fixed cost among the normal capacity
14,400 / 7,500 = 1.92 fixed cost per garment cleaned
.7 + 1.92 = 2.62 cost per garment
(2)
We do not include the fixed cost in the unit cost, we subtact them completely as an expense.
