QUESTION 5 about the costs in a fast food restaurant for the
Solution
a) Calculation of sales revenue is shown as follows:-
Required Net Income after tax = Equity Investment*18%
= $240,000*18% = $43,200
Net Income Before tax = Net Income after tax/(1 - tax rate)
= $43,200/(1-28%) = $60,000
Interest expense = $50,000*12% = $6,000
Depreciation = $112,000*20% = $22,400
Earning before interest and depreciation = $60,000+$6,000+$22,400 = $88,400
Other Fixed costs = Insurance exp+License exp+Utilities exp+Maintenance exp+Management salary exp
= $4,500+$3,200+$12,600+$1,200+$48,900 = $70,400
Contribution Margin = Earning before interest and depreciation+Other Fixed costs
= $88,400+$70,400 = $158,800
Total Variable exp. as a precentage of sales revenue = Cost of sales+Variable wages+Other variable exp
= 35% of total sales revenue+33% of total sales revenue+8% of total sales revenue
= 76% of total sales revenue
Contribution margin % of sales revenue = 100% - 76% = 24%
Total Sales Revenue = Contribution Margin/Contribution margin %
= $158,800/24% = $661,667
Therefore the total sales revenue is $661,667.
b) No. of customers served during the year = (Total seats*seat turnovers per day)*6 days in a week*52 weeks
= (132 seats*2.2)*6*52 = 90,605 customers
Overall Average Check = Total Sales revenue/No. of customers
= $661,667/90,605 = $7.30 per customer
Therefore the overall average check is $7.30 per customer.
