Answer 1

a) The determination of the variable costs per haircut and the total monthly fixed costs for Fredonia Barber Shop are as follows:

1) Variable Costs per haircut:

Commission per barber per haircut = $5.50

Barber supplies  per haircut =             $0.30

Utilities per haircut =                            $0.20

Total variable costs per haircut =     $6.00

2) Fixed costs per month:

Salaryiesof barbers (6 x $1,470) = $8,820

Supervisor's salary                      = $2,000

Advertising  per month =                   $310

Rent  per month =                             $930

Utilities per month =                          $175

Magazines  per month =                    $20

Total fixed costs per month =   $12,255

b) The computation of the break-even point in units and dollars for Fredonia Barber Shop is as follows:

1) Break-even point in units is 2,451 units ($12,255/$5)
