Coffee per cup 15 cents

Sugar and cream per cup 5 cents

Cinnamon and chocolate per cup 2 cents

Cups and lids 3 cents, Donuts cost 25 cents

Help 2 people normally, each paid $8 per hour

Extra help on busy weekends 2 people

Your rent is $3000 / month

There are four other coffee shops within walking distance. Starbucks is just around the corner. The past owners sold 300 cups of coffee per day during the week and 500 cups on weekends. Your store is open 10 hours a day every day.

1) What is the cost of each cup of coffee? Provide lots of details.

2) Based on the above, what business strategy would seem appropriate? Convince your banker that you know the business and the area.
