A cyber cafe currently operating from 11am to 8pm daily. The
supervisor is trying to
determine whether they should extend the closing time from 8pm to
12 midnight. He
estimates that the revenue will increase by RM250 per hour if he
extends hours. However,
he will have to pay a part-time worker for 4 additional hours at
RM20/hour.
Additional miscellaneous costs of RM500 will be incurred and
utility costs will be increased
by RM15 per hour.
a) Should they extend the hours?
b) Based on the above calculation, should they extend the operation
hour for
another 3 hours until 3 a.m? The similar incremental cost will
occur.
