The Sunland Acres Inn is trying to determine its break-even point during its off-peak season. The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $80 a night. Operating costs are as follows: Salaries $5,400 per month
Utilities $1,200 per month
Depreciation $1,100 per month
Maintenance $2,140 per month
Maid service $19 per room
Other costs $37 per room

Required:
a. Determine the inn's break-even point in number of rented rooms per month.
b. Determine the inn's break-even point in dollars.

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $80 a night.

Operating costs are as follows:

Salaries $5,400 per month

Utilities $1,200 per month

Depreciation $1,100 per month

Maintenance $2,140 per month

Maid service $19 per room

Other costs $37 per room

We won't take into account the depreciation expense because it is not a cash disbursement.

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Fixed costs= 5,400 + 1,200 + 2,140= $8,740

Variable cost= 19 + 37= $56

Break-even point in units= 8,740 / (80 - 56)

Break-even point in units= 364 rented rooms

To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 8,740 / (24/80)

Break-even point (dollars)= $29,133
