Fixed cost (Rent)= $4,800 per month
Variable cost per camper = $4
Profit per camper = $9
Let the price to be charged in February be $K per camper
Number of campers in February = 370
Profit in February = Number of campers in February x Profit per camper
= 370 x 9
= $3,330
Sales revenue in February = Number of campers in February x Price per camper
= 370K
Total variable cost in February = Number of campers in February x variable cost per camper
= 370 x 4
= $1,480
Profit = Sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost
3,330 = 370K - 1,480 - 4,800
370K = 9,610
K = $25.97297297297
Hence, price to be charged in February = $25.97297297297 per camper
Price to be charged for a camp site in February = Number of campers in February x Price per camper
= 370 x 25.97297297297
= $9,610
Let the price to be charged in August be $M per camper
Number of campers in February = 790
Profit in August = Number of campers in August x Profit per camper
= 790 x 9
= $7,110
Sales revenue in August = Number of campers in August x Price per camper
= 790M
Total variable cost in August = Number of campers in August x Variable cost per camper
= 790 x 4
= $3,160
Profit = Sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost
7,110 = 790M - 3,160 - 4,800
790M = 15,070
M = $19.075949367088
Hence, price to be charged in August = $19.075949367088 per camper
Price to be charged for a camp site in August = Number of campers in August x Price per camper
= 790 x 19.075949367088
= $15,070
