.Link wants to make $100,000 after tax on his new venture into selling pizza-on-a-stick, using a "push along" cart at the beach. For each pizza-on-a-stick, he incurs raw material costs of $5 and sells them for $10. He pays a salary to his friend Zelda, who operates the cart for $50,000. If he buys the cart himself, he will incur fixed expenses of $20,000. Or, he can rent the cart and pay $1 to the cart supplier each time he sells a pizza stick. What is his point of indifference? That is, at what volume of pizza sticks is he indifferent about renting or buying the cart? (Insert a number ONLY) 2. Like Link, Chrom sells pizza-on-a-stick at the beach. But Chrom also sells dogs-in-a-pocket, which are hot dogs you can carry with you that have enough preservatives to survive in your pocket for years. For each pizza-on-a-stick, Chrom incurs raw material costs of $5 and sells them for $10. He incurs material costs of $3 for the dogs and sells them for $5. He sells 3 times as many dogs as he does pizzas and incurs fixed expenses of $50,000. To achieve an operating income of $60,000 how many dogs must Chrom sell? (Insert a number ONLY, for example, if the answer is five thousand, enter "5000")
