Assume SnowCastle has found ways to cut its fixed costs to $34,000,000. What is its new target variable cost per skier/snowboarder? Investors would like to earn a 15% return on investment on the company's $165,000,000 of assets. SnowCastle projects fixed costs to be $36,000,000 for the ski season. The resort serves about 750,000 skiers and snowboarders each season. Variable costs are about $11 per guest. Last year, due to its favorable reputation, SnowCastle was a price setter and was able to charge $4 more per lift ticket than its competitors without a reduction in the number of customers it received. Assume that SnowCastle's reputation has diminished and other resorts in the vicinity are charging only $88 per lift ticket. SnowCastle has become a price-taker and will not be able to charge more than its competitors. At the market price, SnowCastle managers believe they will still serve 750,000 skiers and snowboarders each season
