Details: This trip will depart at 6:00 p.m. on Friday after dinner and return at 5:00 p.m. Sunday before dinner. Transportation, meals and cabin rental are all provided A minimum of 50 people will attend Breakfast is $5 per person Lunch is $7.50 per person Dinner is $9 per person . This trip was planned by a full time administrative staff member within the agency but this person will not be participating in the trip. However, $200 of their salary must be accounted for as administrative cost. (Hint: This person is full-time staff, as in they are always present, regardless of trip) . Two trip leaders will lead the trip. They make $9.25 per hour. They are temporary employees and do not receive benefits. The agency owns one 15 passenger van which can be used to transport participants. The monthly payment on the van is $525. The van is used 4 weekends per month to transport participants. The cost of the monthly payment must be evenly distributed between each weekend and should be reflected in the cost of the trip. (Hint: be careful here when you are thinking about # of passengers who will be in the can and how the cost of the van you own will be distributed) Additional vans will be rented. Van rental per 24 hour period - $150 per day for a 15 passenger van & $80 per day for an 8 passenger van . Gasoline - $175 (assume this is a fixed cost) Cabins: 4 person cabins cost $75/day; 6 person cabins cost $100/day. Trip leaders will have one cabin to themselves. . All the trip fees must include the cost of the leaders, and the leaders are not charged a fee for going. Calculate the total cost and the break-even price per participant of the trip. Itemize and the fixed and variable costs including the total of each. 2 You decide this trip is fairly low risk and therefore feel a contingency fee of 7% is appropriate. Calculate the updated cost per participant. 3. Your agency has decided to offer two separate trips. One to Saguaro National Park targeting underprivileged youth who reside in the Tucson area, thus giving them an opportunity to experience all the Park has to offer. You will also offer a trip to Mount Lemmon targeting affluent residents of Tucson looking for a fun weekend adventure. Your agency has decided a different fee will be charged for each trip understanding that the group traveling to Saguaro National Park will not have the same available resources as those traveling to Mount Lemmon. Therefore, you decide that the trip to the Saguaro National Park will be cross-subsidized level by 25% by the Mount Lemmon trip. Assuming both trips start off at the ending price with contingency that you calculated above, what would be the price for each trip with subsidization
