She has already experimented with Party A where she charges $45 per guest. Carol's has been hosting 40 guests per week. Her variable costs for Party A are $600 per week. Carol has fixed costs of $7, 000 and knows that her fixed costs will not increase if she can host more "parties" each week. Carol plans to add Party B and Party C to her weekly workshop schedule. Party B will feature a smaller kid's craft with a Workshop fee of $25 per guest and variable costs of $15. Party C will be a weekly craft club with a club fee of $60 guest and variable costs of $20. Carol plans a party mix with a ratio of 1 Party B for every 2 Party Cand 7 Party A for every Party B. (7:1:2). Carol plans to host 250 guests each week at parties. Based on this information please help Carol predict her potential net income to see if she can make this her new full-time income.

Sylvan Creations designs, manufactures, and sells modern wood sculptures. Sandra Johnson is an artist for the company. Johnson has spent much of the past month working on the design of an intricate abstract piece. Jim Chase, product development manager, likes the design. However, he wants to make sure that the sculpture can be priced competitively. Ellen Cooper, Sylvan’s cost accountant, presents Chase with the following cost data for the expected production of 75 sculptures: Design cost $10,000 Direct materials 80,000 Direct manufacturing labor 27,500 Variable manufacturing overhead 10,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead 42,500 Fixed marketing costs 17,500 Q.Chase believes that competition will require Sylvan to reduce the price of the sculpture to $2,800. Rather than using the highest-grade wood available, Sylvan could use standard grade wood and lower the cost of direct materials by 25%. This redesign will require an additional $1,500 of design cost.

I own a Supercuts barber shop. Up to 12 people an hour want to come get haircuts, which I charge $20 each for. I have 1 cashier that can process 20 people an hour. I have 2 barbers who can process 3 people an hour each (so 6 people an hour total). I pay barbers $17 an hour and cashiers $11 an hour. If I can't change demand, and I can hire as many people as I want, what is my maximum profit per hour? Round to the nearest dollar, and don't enter a dollar sign (so if your answer is $443.363, round to 443)

Joyce Murphy runs a courier service in downtown Seattle. She charges clients $0.48 per mile driven. Joyce has determined that if she drives 3,400 miles in a month, her total operating cost is $1,004. If she drives 5,300 miles in a month, her total operating cost is $1,308.

The twig stands are more popular, so Bobby sells four twig stands for every one oak stand. Katie charges her husband $400 to share her booth at the craft shows (after all, she has paid the entrance fees). How many of each plant stand does Bobby need to sell to breakeven? Will this affect the number of scarves Katie needs to sell to breakeven? Explain.
