Problem 4
The Blue Ridge Café's budget for next year indicates the following:
Revenues

Total fixed costs
Total variable costs
Total Costs
Net income before tax
$ 91,000
$512,000

be served?
e. How many more guests are needed to generate a net income of $114,000 than are
needed to break even?
f. If the Blue Ridge Café decides to close during two months that traditionally generate
slow business, it will lose about 18,000 guests. If the owner chooses to do this, what
will be the new net income or loss?
