As manager of the Best Drinks Company in Hayward, you would like to sell drinks at a booth during the major celebration in the Hayward’s Central Park. The following table provides information about the drinks that you will be selling: You estimate labor cost to be $600 (2 people, $300 dollars each per day at the booth). Even if nothing is sold, your labor cost will be still $600, so you decide to consider this a fixed cost. Booth rental, $400, is also a fixed cost. Apply the total fixed cost for your break-even analysis, and do not annualize the fixed cost.
