1. If SnowDelights cannot reduce its costs, what profit will it earn? State your answer in dollars and
as a percent of assets. Will investors be happy with the profit level?
Done
Investors would like to earn a 10% return on investment on the company's
$260,900,000 of assets. SnowDelights projects fixed costs to be $30,000,000 for the
ski season. The resort serves about 710,000 skiers and snowboarders each season.
Variable costs are about $9 per guest. Last year, due to its favorable reputation,
SnowDelights was a price-setter and was able to charge $5 more per lift ticket than its
competitors without a reduction in the number of customers it received.
2. Assume SnowDelights has found ways to cut its fixed costs to $27,000,000. What is its new target
variable cost per skier/snowboarder?
Assume that SnowDelights' reputation has diminished and other resorts in the vicinity
are charging only $83 per lift ticket. SnowDelights has become a price-taker and will
not be able to charge more than its competitors. At the market price, SnowDelights
managers believe they will still serve 710,000 skiers and snowboarders each season.
