The Grand Inn is a restaurant in Flagstaff, Arizona. It specializes in southwestern style meals in a moderate price range Paul Weld, the manager of Grand, has determined that during the last 2 years the sales mix and contribution margin ratio of its offerings are as follows. Percent of Contribution Total Sales Margin Ratio 15 % 80 % Appetizers Main entrees Desserts 50 % 25 % 10 % 80 % Beverages 25 % 80 % Paul is considering a variety of options to try to improve the profitability of the restaurant. His goal is to generate a target net income of $112,000. The company has fixed costs of $1,153,250 per year. Calculate the total restaurant sales and the sales of each product line that would be necessary to achieve the desired target net income. (Round intermediate calculations to 3 decimal places e.g. 0.251 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,510.) Total restaurant sales $ 2410000 Sales from Each Product Appetizers $ 361500 Main entrees $ 1205000 Desserts $ 241000 Beverages $ 602500 Paul believes the restaurant could greatly improve its profitability by reducing the complexity and selling price of its entrees to increase the number of clients that it serves. It would then more heavily market its appetizers and beverages. He is proposing to reduce the contribution margin ratio on the main entrees to 10% by dropping the average selling price. He envisions an expansion of the restaurant that would increase fixed costs by $584.750. At the same time, he is proposing to change the sales mix to the following Percent of Total Sales Contribution Margin Ratio 25 % 80 % 25 % 10 % Appetizers Main entrees Desserts Beverages 10 % 80 % 40 % 80 % Compute the total restaurant sales, and the sales of each product line that would be necessary to achieve the desired target net income.
