Sanjana’s Sweet Shoppe operates on the boardwalk of a New
England coastal town. The store only opens for the summer season
and the business is heavily dependent on the weather and the
economy in addition to new competition. Sanjana Sweet, the owner,
prepares a budget each year after reading long-term weather
forecasts and estimates of summer tourism. The budget is a first
step in planning whether she will need any loans and whether she
needs to consider adjustments to store staffing. Based on expertise
and experience, she develops the following.
Gross Margin per Customer | ||||
Scenario | (Price – Cost of Goods) | Number of Customers | ||
Good | $6.0 | 40,000 | ||
Fair | 5.0 | 30,000 | ||
Poor | 1.8 | 25,000 | ||
Sanjana assumes, for simplicity, that the gross margin and the
estimated number of customers are independent. Thus, she has nine
possible scenarios. In addition to the cost of the products sold,
Sanjana estimates staffing costs to be $35,000 plus $2 for every
customer in excess of 30,000. The marketing and administrative
costs are estimated to be $11,900 plus 3 percent of the gross
margin.
Required:
Prepare an analysis of the possible operating income for Sanjana similar to that in Exhibit 13.15. What is the range of operating incomes?
Gross Margin | Number of customers | Total gross margin | Operating costs | Marketing and Admin | Operating profit (loss) | |
