Total payroll week 1,980*50=99,000 total yearly wages

Total expenses 1,750*12=21,000 per year

Total fixed expenses 99,000+21,000=120,000

Each barber must give approximately 42 haircuts a week to make this goal.

120,000/11.60=10344.83 or 10345 break-even point

3. 20,000 Haircuts

Fixed costs 99,000+ 21,000=120,000

Variable costs .40*20000=8,000

Total costs 120,000+8,000=128,000
