Requirements 1. What is the restaurant's cost equation for estimating costs if the number of guests to be served is up to 14,500 guests per month? 2. If the restaurant were to serve 13,100 guests in May, what would be the: a. Estimated total cost? (Use the cost equation from Requirement 1.) b. Average cost per guest? 3. If the restaurant were to serve 11,300 guests in June, what would be the: a. Estimated total cost using the cost equation from Requirement 1? b. Estimated total cost using the average per guest cost from Requirement 2b ? c. Why is there a difference in the two cost estimates? 4. What is the restaurant's cost equation for estimating costs if the number of guests to be served is more than 14,500 guests per month? 5. If the restaurant were to serve 16,000 guests in July, what would be the estimated total cost? (Use the cost equation from Requirement 4.) Requirement 1. What is the restaurant's cost equation for estimating costs if the number of guests to be served is up to 14,500 guests per month? y= x+ Requirement 2a. If the restaurant were to serve 13,100 guests in May, what would be the estimated total cost (Use the cost equation from Requirement 1.) If the restaurant were to serve 13,100 guests in May, the estimated total cost would be Requirement 2b. If the restaurant were to serve 13,100 guests in May, what would be the average cost per guest? If the restaurant were to serve 13,100 guests in May, the average cost per guest would be Requirement 3a. If the restaurant were to serve 11,300 guests in June, what would be the estimated total cost using the cost equation from Requirement 1 ? If the restaurant were to serve 11,300 guests in June, the estimated total cost using the cost equation from Requirement 1 would be Requirement 3b. If the restaurant were to serve 11,300 guests in June, what would be the estimated total cost using the average per guest cost from Requirement 2b ? If the restaurant were to serve 11,300 guests in June, the estimated total cost using the average cost per guest from Requirement 2b would be Requirement 3c. Why is there a difference in the two cost estimates? There is a difference in the two cost estimates because the average cost per guest as volume changes, due to the of the buffet's costs. The fixed cost per unit as volume decreases, while the variable cost per unit Requirement 4. What is the restaurant's cost equation for estimating costs if the number of guests to be served is more than 14,500 guests per month? Requirement 5. If the restaurant were to serve 16,000 guests in July, what would be the estimated total cost? (Use the cost equation from Requirement 4.) If the restaurant were to serve 16,000 guests in July, the estimated total cost using the cost equation from Requirement 4 would be
