Lance's Diner has a hot-lunch special each weekday and Sunday afternoon. The cost of food and other variable costs for each meal served is $3.50; weekly fixed costs (e. g., building depreciation and equipment rental costs) are $6,000, regardless of how many days the diner is open per week.

    (a) $700

    (b) $5.50

    Explanation:

    Weekly fixed costs = $6,000

    Weekly Total meals = Average customers per day * No. of days

    = 500 * 6

    = 3,000

    Fixed cost per meal = Weekly fixed costs : Weekly Total meals

    = $6,000 : 3,000

    = $2

    (a) Lowest price in total = Number of customers * Variable costs for each meal

    = 200 * $3.50

    = $700

    (b) Lowest price = Variable costs for each meal + Fixed cost per meal

    = $3.50 + $2

    = $5.50
