What is the expected cost of that week


For many years the Honey Lake Summer Camp had used the number of campers per week to estimate weekly costs. The summer camp is open for ten weeks during the summer with a different number of campers each week. July is busiest with June and the end of August least busy. Costs from the last week of summer camp in 1998 are used to estimate costs for 1999 for pricing purposes. The following costs occurred during the last week of 1998 and the costs of each cost category are expected to be the same for 1999:
Weekly Cost
Supervisor's salary $ 400
Cook's salary 300
Camp counselor salaries (1 for each occupied cabin, each of
which hold 10 campers) (5 counselors × $200/counselor) 1,000
Food (50 campers × $100/camper) 5,000
Supplies (50 campers × $20/camper) 1,000
Utilities (50 campers × $10/camper) 500
Insurance (50 campers × $20/camper) 1,000
Property tax ($10,000/10 weeks) 1,000
Weekly total $10,200
Cost per camper: $10,200/50 campers = $204/camper
