Southfield Stylers, with three chairs, offers a no-frills hair style service at a single price. The price of $27 and the variable cost of $7 per customer remain constant regardless of volume. The owner can handle additional volume by hiring on-call stylists to staff the two additional chairs if demand is sufficient. Southfield pays the on-call stylists for one full week regardless of actual demand that week. Southfield has three choices every week, as follows:
Weekly Volume Range
(Number of Customers) Total Fixed Costs
1 Chair 0117 $ 2,980
2 Chairs 1182343,940
3 Chairs 2353345,740
Required:
a. Calculate the break-even point(s).
b-1. Calculate the profit (or loss) for each alternative, assuming sufficient demand to keep all chairs busy.
b-2. Should Southfield operate with one, two, or three chairs?
