Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

1. Revenue per child 400
Variable costs per child 150
Contribution margin per child 250

Breakeven quantity =

= = 16 children

2. Target quantity =

= = 36 children

3. Increase in rent (2,200  1,500)  700
Field trips 1,100
Total increase in fixed costs 1,800
Divide by the number of children enrolled  36
Increase in fee per child  50

Therefore, the fee per child will increase from 400 to 450.

Alternatively,

New contribution margin per child = = 300

New fee per child = Variable costs per child + New contribution margin per child
= 150 + 300 = 450
