• Compute the number of performances required to break even for each concert. These are separate computations for each dance concert.
• Compute break even for the organization as a whole and express the result in revenues instead of the number of performances.
• Ms. Smith wants to performance group to show at least $150,000 in operating profit. What level of revenues does the performance group need to achieve to meet this goal?
• Give a recommendation about changes Ms. Smith can make to achieve the target profit. Support your idea with computations.
