MPE, Inc. will soon enter a very competitive marketplace in which it will have limited influence over the prices that are charged. Management and consultants are currently working to fine-tune the company’s sole service, which hopefully will generate a 8 percent first-year return (profit) on the firm’s $18,100,000 asset investment. Although the normal return in MPE’s industry is 10 percent, executives are willing to accept the lower figure because of various start-up inefficiencies. The following information is available for first-year operations:
Hours of service to be provided: 23,000
Anticipated variable cost per service hour: $22.50
Anticipated fixed cost: $1,930,000 per year

Asset investment X return %
$18100000 x 8% = $ 1448000 (Target profit)

Revenue per hour = Total revenue/estimated hour = $4257500/23000= $185.11 per hour
