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 $1.80 per sandwich. Sandwiches sell for $2.50 each in all locations. Rent and equipment costs would be $5,040 per month for location A, $5,560 per month for location B, and $5,730 per month for location C.
Required:
a. Determine the volume necessary at each location to realize a monthly profit of $10,500.
b. If expected sales at A, B, and C are 20,800 per month, 22,000 per month, and 22,800 per month, respectively, calculate the profit of each location.
c. Which location would yield the greatest profits?

Answer 1

Answer:

The selling price per unit (sandwich) is $2.50

The variable cost per unit (sandwich) is $1.80

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

=$2.50 - $1.80

=$0.70

Target sales volume to achieved at location A

The fixed cost is $5,040 per month

The target profit is $10,500 per month

TargetSales=Fixedcosts+TargetprofitContributionmarginperunitTargetSales=Fixedcosts+TargetprofitContributionmarginperunit

TargetSales=5,040+10,5000.70TargetSales=5,040+10,5000.70

TargetSales=22,200unitsTargetSales=22,200units

The company needs to sell 22,200 units at location A to achieve target profit of $10,500

Target sales volume to achieved at location B

The fixed cost is $5,560 per month

The target profit is $10,500 per month

TargetSales=Fixedcosts+TargetprofitContributionmarginperunitTargetSales=Fixedcosts+TargetprofitContributionmarginperunit

TargetSales=5,560+10,5000.70TargetSales=5,560+10,5000.70

TargetSales=22,943unitsTargetSales=22,943units

The company needs to sell 22,943 units at location B to achieve target profit of $10,500

Target sales volume to achieved at location C

The fixed cost is $5,730 per month

The target profit is $10,500 per month

TargetSales=Fixedcosts+Target
