GIVEN Sarah is planning to start her own cake shop. The cost of making a cake is RM13 each and they are sold at RM45 each. Her estimated monthly cost includes rent (RM1,200) and utilities (RM500). a) Markup percentage = [(Selling price - Cost price) / Cost price] * 100 = [(45 - 13) / 13] * 100 = 246.15% b) Break even point occurs when total revenue = total cost Total revenue from X units sold is 45X Total cost of X units = Fixed cost (Rent + Utility) + Variable cost = 1,700 + 13X Thus, break even occurs when 45X = 1,700 + 13X X = 53.125 c) At break even, revenue = 45 * 53.125 = 2,390.625 d) Annual profit = Total revenue - Total cost = 150,000 45X - 1,700 - 13X = 150,000 X = 4,740.625 e) As box cost rises by 2, variable cost rises to 15X To get the annual profit of 150,000, 45X - 1,700 - 15X = 150,000 X = 5,056.66
