Problem 2 -

Starbucks owns and operates a restaurant, ABC.  His fixed costs are $21,000 per month.  He serves lunches and dinners.  The average total bill (excluding tax and tip) is $19 per customer meal.  Queen's present variable costs average $10.60 per meal.    

REQUIRED:

a. What is the break-even point in number of meals served per month?

b. How many meals must he serve to attain a profit before taxes of $8,400 per month?

c. Queen's rent and other fixed costs rise to a total of $29,925 per month and variable costs also rise to $12.50 per meal.  Queen decides to raise his average price to $23. His accountant, however, says that he will likely lose 10% of his customers. To offset the loss of customers, Queen decides to hire a pianist to play 4 hours a night at a cost of $2,000 per month. Assume that this will increase total monthly meals to 3,450.  What will Queen's profit be now?
