Suppose that KCA University intends to introduce a new course from September 2020. The college estimates that it will incur a fixed cost of Ksh.2.4M per annum and an average annual variable costs of Ksh.8,000 per student to run the course: Required: Calculate the number of students KCA should enroll in order to breakeven if it intends to charge annual fee of Ksh.40,000 per student. Using the level of enrolment obtained in (i) above, compute the level of expected total revenue and total cost of the college. Suppose that you are the Vice Chancellor of KCA University, will you introduce this course if the maximum number of students Kenya University and College Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) will allocate you is 200? (Justify your answer – show all relevant calculations).
