a.) determine the variable costs per haircut and the total monthly fixed costs. (round variable costs to 2 decimal places, e. g. 2.25.)

total variable cost per haircut $

total fixed $

b.) compute the break-even point in units and dollars.

break-even point haircuts

break-even sales $

c.) determine net income, assuming 2,420 haircuts are given in a month.

net income / (loss) $

a). Total fixed costs per month=$9,310

Total variable cost per haircut=$28.10

b). Break-even point=1,900 haircuts

Break-even sales=11×1,900=$20,900

c). Net income=$2,548 profit

Explanation:

a)

Variable costs depend on the level of output. They can be calculated as follows;

Total variable cost per haircut=Commission per haircut+supplies per hair cut+utilities per hair cut

where;

Commission per haircut=$5.50=$5.50

Barber supplies per hair cut=$0.36

utilities per hair cut=$0.24

replacing;

Total variable cost per haircut=5.50+0.36+0.24=$6.10

Fixed costs do not depend on the level of output. They can be calculated as follows;

Total fixed costs per month=base rate per month+manager extra salary per month+advertising per month+rent per month+utilities per month+magazines per month

where;

base rate per month=1,480×5=$7,400

manager extra salary per month=510×1=$510

advertising per month=$220

rent per month=$980

utilities per month=$180

magazines per month=$20

replacing;

Total fixed costs per month=7,400+510+220+980+180+20=$9,310

Total fixed costs per month=$9,310

Total variable cost per haircut=$6.10

b). Break-even point is the point where the cost of goods sold is the same as the amount received in sales;

Cost of goods sold=Fixed costs+total variable costs

where;

Fixed costs=$9,310 per month

Total variable costs=variable cost per haircut×number of haircuts=6.10×n=$6.1 n

replacing;

Cost of goods sold=6.1 n+9,310... equation 1

Total sales=cost per haircut×number of haircuts (n)=11×n=11 n

Total sales=11 n... equation 2

Equate equation 1 and 2

6.1 n+9,310=11 n

11 n-6.1 n=9,310

4.9 n=9,310

n=9,310/4.9=1,900

n=1,900

Break-even point=1,900 haircuts

Break-even sales=11×1,900=$20,900

c). Determine net income

Net income=Revenue-expenses

where;

revenue=11×2,420=$26,620

expenses=(6.1×2,420)+9,310=14,762+9,310=$24,072

replacing;

Net income=26,620-24,072=$2,548

Net income=$2,548

hi,

henry is an economist and wants to understand the relationship between inflation and consumer spending habits. for his research, he needs the consumer price index for 2014 and the inflation rate. based on the prices of goods given, what will he find to be the cpi and inflation rate for 2014? assume that a consumer’s basket for three consecutive years consists of the following:

you dont privide answer choices.

answer - 15% of a inflatation rate is 15% less in cpi

anjan should should report alteast 5000 on the first apyment and 10,000 each year
