EMERGENCY! Production just informed management that one of its five glycol squeezers has been destroyed by a rogue computer virus. Production capability is now only 23000 gallons at most. The squeezer cannot be fixed and IceLess cannot afford a replacement. This breakdown will NOT lower fixed costs. This breakdown will not change variable cost per unit, either. If only 23000 gallons are produced, and the earning target remains $94400 above fixed costs, what price per gallon must now be charged? (show your calculations What is the Contribution Margin Ratio (CMR) if the price is $8.82 per gallon? At a price of $10.95 per gallon, what will be the DOL (assume 23000 gallons are sold , that $94400 above fixed costs is to be earned, and that other costs are as initially given)(show your calculations).

An architect-engineering firm is planning a parking lot to accomodate 400 vehicles. Each parking space will be 8.5 feet x 15 feet. It has been estimated that the space required for aisles will be 70 percentage of the space required for parking. A local paving company charges 8$ per square foot for paving and a flat fee of $10,600 for marking and painting the individual parking spaces. Based on this information, what is the estimated cost of paving and marking this parking lot? The estimated cost of paving and marking the parking lot is: $ ?
