The rooms rent at an average price of $60 per person per night including breakfast. Other costs are laundry and cleaning service at a cost of $10 per person per night and the cost of food which is $5 per person per night.
Determine the number of rentals and the sales revenue Jane needs to break even using the contribution margin technique.

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

F<u>irst, we determine the total fixed costs and unitary variable cost:</u>

Total fixed costs= 60,000 + 41,000 + 24,000 + 10,000

Total fixed costs= $135,000

Unitary variable cost= 10 + 5= $15

<u>To calculate the break-even point in units and dollars, we need to use the following formulas:</u>

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 135,000 / (60 - 15)

Break-even point in units= 3,000 rentals

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 135,000 / (45/60)

Break-even point (dollars)=$180,000

<u>Now, we can determine the margin of safety:</u>

Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level

Margin of safety ratio= (4,000 - 3,000) / 4,000

Margin of safety ratio= 25%

<u>Sales can decrease by 25% before having a net loss.</u>

Increase in unitary variable costs= $3

Increase in selling price= $8

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 135,000 / (68 - 18)

Break-even point in units= 2,700 rentals

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 135,000 / (50/68)

Break-even point (dollars)=$183,600

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

113,000.

Explanation:

Let go through all the items to see whether we need to include them in the initial outlay or not.

(1) $100,000 worth of equipment => Yes

(2) Shipping will cost $5,000 and installation will cost $8,000 => Yes (Add to purchase price of equipment)

(3) Paid a management consultant $4,000 to analyze this project => No =>This is sunk cost (already incurred regardless of accept or reject the prject)

(4) Increase sales by $20,000 per year => No => under operating cashflow.

(5) $3,500 to train the employees to use the new equipment => No => under operating cashflow.

So, total initial outlay = 100,000 + 5,000 + 8,000 = 113,000.
