a. Assignment Question on Cost Volume Profit (CVP)
MMC Nutri Company is a small family fast food restaurant that opened in 2015, serving tropical cuisine to its mainly Afro-American, Asian and African customers. Because of its hot ingredients, few others patronize the food.
This business serves its popular dish Jollof rice, fish or meat stew, and rice flour porridge, as a meal for $9 a serving. Its variable cost per serving is $4.10 and its monthly fixed cost is $4,600 a month. On average, the business sells 60 servings a day, opened every day except Sunday. The highly religious owner takes Sunday off, as a rest day.
During this 2020 year of COVID-19 pandemic, average sales has dropped significantly. In June of this year, the federal government gave a lump sum financial assistance of $10,000 to the business, during a six weeks lockdown. Since then, current sales has dropped by 60% of its pre-COVID level, despite the introduction of take-away opportunity. The business optimistically estimates that sales will slowly increase to a maximum of 80% of pre-COVID level, for the rest of this year.
The owner is considering closing the business, due to uncertainty and depletion of personal savings to finance its operations, and has commissioned you to give advice, based on your knowledge of accounting.
The business is also exploring an available option of a $6,000 investment in machinery that will be used for 5 years and will reduce variable cost by $0.30 a unit. Sales price/unit will not change.
What will be your overall advice to this owner? Justify each option with analysis based on CVP.
(Points will be awarded for trend of thought and the application of CVP principles. There is no one answer.) 30 points
