Chapter 7.S, Problem 26P
As a prospective owner of a club known as the Red Rose, you are interested in determining the volume of sales dollars necessary for the coming year to reach the break-even point. You have decided to break down the sales for the club into four categories, the first category being beer. Your estimate of the beer sales is that 30.000 drinks will be served. The selling price for each unit will average $1.50; the cost is $.75. The second major category is meals, which you expect to be 10,000 units with an average price of $10.00 and a cost of $5.00. The third major category is desserts and wine, of which you also expect to sell 10,000 units, but w1th an average price of $2.50 per unit sold and a cost of $1.00 per unit. The final category is lunches and inexpensive sandwiches, wh1ch you expect to total 20,000 un1ts at an average price of $6.25 with a food cost of $3.25. Your fixed cost (i.e. rent, utilities, and so on) is $1,800 per month plus $2,000 per month for entertainment.
- a. What is your break-even point in dollars per month?
- b. What is the expected number of meals each day if you are open 30 days a month?

Management of the Toys R4U Company needs to decide whether to introduce a certain new novelty
toy for the upcoming Christmas season, after which it would be discontinued. The total cost required
to produce and market this toy would be $500,000 plus $15 per toy produced. The company would
receive revenue of $35 for each toy sold.
Assuming that every unit of this toy that is produced is sold, write an expression for the profit in terms
of the number produced and sold. Then find the break-even point that this number must exceed to
make it worthwhile to introduce this toy.
Now assume that the number that can be sold might be less than the number produced. Write an
expression for the profit in terms of these two numbers.
Formulate a spreadsheet that will give the profit in part b for any values of the two numbers.
Write a mathematical expression for the constraint that the number produced should not exceed the
number that can be sold.
Barbara Flynn sells papers at a newspaper stand for $0.40. The papers cost her $0.30, giving her a $0.10 profit on each one she sells. From past experience Barbara
knows that:
a) 20% of the time she sells 150 papers.
b) 20% of the time she sells 200 papers.
c) 30% of the time she sells 250 papers.
d) 30% of the time she sells 300 papers.
Assuming that Barbara believes the cost of a lost sale to be $0.05 and any unsold papers cost her $0.30 and she orders 250 papers.
Use the following random numbers: 14, 4, 13, 9, and 25 for simulating Barbara's profit. (Note: Assume the random number interval begins at 01 and ends at 00.)
Based on the given probability distribution and the order size, for the given random number Barbara's sales and profit are (enter your responses for sales as integers
and round all profit responses to two decimal places):

- Create a spreadsheet to calculate your projected total costs, total revenues, and total profits for giving a seminar on cost estimating. Make the following assumptions: You will charge $600 per person for a two-day class. You estimate that 30 people will attend the class, but you want to change this input. Your fixed costs include $500 total to rent a room for both days, setup fees of $400 for registration, and $300 for designing a postcard for advertising. Youwill not include your labor costs for this estimate, but you estimate that you will spend at least 150 hours developing materials, managing the project, and giving the actual class.

If it builds a small facility and demand is low, the net present valueafter deducting for building costs will be $400,000.

Expansion would have a net present value of $450,000, and maintaining the small facility would have a net present value of $50,000.If a large facility is built and demand is high, the estimated net present value is $800,000.
