Betty and Mark are considering offering a doggy day-care service. After some research, they found several pet day-care facilities in their area, but they were expensive! Further, the facilities were sterile and didn't provide a "homey" or fun environment for pets. Betty and Mark felt they could easily fix these shortcomings. Betty's home would be the location for their business, since it already has a fenced-in yard and is located two blocks from a dog park. Estimated costs for building an outdoor shelter, plus other licensing and business start-up costs, are as follows. Shelter (depreciated over 7 years) Licensing and other annual costs Hourly wage for hired labor; planned for only 210 hours per year Variable costs for food Estimated volume of dogs per day (open for business 5 days per week, 50 weeks per year; average length of stay 8 hours per day) $500 per year $700 per year $14 per hour $16 per day per dog 23 per day (b) Assume that the company employs a target costing approach and that the going rate for doggy day care is $10 per hour. What is the target cost per dog hour if the two friends require a 25% return on their invested assets, which total $644,000 (including Betty's home)? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)
