A group of students at Kent's Center for Entrepreneurship and Business Innovation have decided to open a caf in the public library in downtown Kent. The library bas agreed to rent them the space and equipment for the caf for $500 per month. The students have decided to start small, offering brewed coffee in regular, decaf, and flavored varieties. They plan to sell only one size cup of coffee and to charge the same price for regular, decaf, or flavored coffee. In addition to the rent that they pay to the library, the students must also pay utilities of $100 per month, insurance of $100 per month, and other overhead of $100 per month. Each cup of coffee costs 304 to brew, 10% for the cup, and an average of 10 for the milk and sugar that consumers add to their coffee. The students will also need to increase awareness of the caf, and they have budgeted $200 per month in advertising costs to accomplish this. 1. What are our total fixed costs? 2. What is our variable cost per cup of coffee? 3. If we want to earn a contribution margin of 75%, what price should we charge? 4. If we charge the price that you calculated in question 8, how many cups of coffee do we need to sell each month to break even? 5. Suppose that we have a particularly good month and sell 1,000 cups of coffee. What will our profit be for the month
