Party trays, which cost $14.00 to make not including labor, are sold for $35.00. If two people work 8-hour shifts making the trays at $7.00 per hour, how many trays must be sold to cover all costs including labor?
Accepted Solution
A:
Profit on each tray sold excluding labor cost = $35-$14 = $21 Total labor cost for making party tray for a day Total labor hours * wages per hour* No. of labors = $7 * $8*2 = $112 Number of trays must be sold to cover cost will be: = Total labor cost for making party tray for a day/ Profit on each tray sold excluding labor cost = $112/$21 = 5.33 5.33 trays must be sold to cover all costs including labor.
