Transcribed Image Text:Debra and Gary are considering offering a doggy day-care service. After some research, they found several pet day-care facilities in
their area, but they were expensive! Further, the facilities were sterile and didn't provide a "homey" or fun environment for pets.
Debra and Gary felt they could easily fix these shortcomings.
(c)
Debra's home would be the location for their business, since it already has a fenced-in yard and is located two blocks from a dog park.
Estimated costs for building an outdoor shelter, plus other licensing and business start-up costs, are as follows.
Shelter (depreciated over 7 years)
Licensing and other annual costs
Hourly wage for hired labor; planned for only 200 hours per year
Variable costs for food
Estimated volume of dogs per day (open for business 5 days per week, 50
weeks per year; average length of stay 8 hours per day)
Target cost per dog hour
Assume that the company employs a target costing approach and that the going rate for doggy day care is $9 per hour. What is the
target cost per dog hour if the two friends require a 25% return on their invested assets, which total $616,000 (including Debra's
home)? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, eg. 15.25.)
