Question

A restaurant prepares 200.00 pizza slices and sells them at a rate of $12.00/slice. Expenses for the restaurant include raw material for pizza at $5.00 per slice, $103.00 for monthly rental and monthly insurance of $30.00. Lost sale are taken as $6.00 per unhappy customer. Leftover pizza can be sold for $2.00. The restaurant is open only for 25 days in a month. Today there was a party at nearby office so the demand for pizza went up to 223.00 slices. How much profit could the restaurant earn today?

Answer 1

$1428

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit = Total Revenue - total cost

total revenue = price x quantity sold

total cost = variable cost + fixed cost

total revenue = 223 x $12 = $2676

Variable cost = $5 x 223 = $1115

total fixed cost = $103.00 + $30.00 = $133.00.

Total cost = $1115 + $133 = $1248

profit = $2676 - $1248 = $1428
