You currently have 100 customers and are operating at 90% capacity. Your current labor rate is $100 per hour. What would the increase, or decrease, in sales be if you could attract the extra 10 percent of business at a reduced labor rate of 10% ? Assume you will bill each customer for one hour of labor each. Hint: If your answer to question #12 was yes, you will have a positive number. If your answer to question #12 was no, you will have a negative number. Assume 100% capacity is 111 customers.
