Optometry Clinic
You are evaluating ways to expand an optometry practice and its earnings capacity. Optometrists perform eye exams, prescribe corrective lenses (eyeglasses and contact lenses) and sell corrective lenses. One way to expand the practice is to hire an additional optometrist. The annual cost of the optometrist, including salary, benefits and payroll taxes is $80,000. You estimate that this individual can conduct two exams per hour at an average price to the patient of $45 per exam. The new optometrist will work 40-hour weeks for 48 weeks per year. However, because of scheduling conflicts, patient no shows, training and other downtime, the new optometrist will not be able to conduct, bill and and collect 100% of her available examination time.
From past experience, you know that each eye exam drives additional product sales. Each exam will lead to either an eyeglass sale with a net profit of $90 (does NOT include the $45 exam fee) or a contact lens sale of $65 of net profit. On average, 60% of exams lead to eyeglass sales, 20% lead to contact lens sales, and 20% lead to no further sales.
Below are additional incremental costs for the new optometrist:
|
Annual |
| Office Occupancy Costs |
$ 10,000 |
| Leased Equipment |
5,000 |
| Office Staff |
30,000 |
What is the minimum level of examinations the new optometrist must perform to pay for herself (break-even)?
Dan Company
Dan Company owns and operates a nationwide chain of pizza stores. The 500 properties Dan chain vary from low-volume, small
town, single screen pizza places to high volume, big city pizza restaurants.
Management is considering the purchases of three types of pizza ovens based on baking capacity and cost.. These machines would allow pizza restauarnts to sell freshly better quality pizza. This new feature would be advertised and its intended to increase patronage at the company's pizza places and restaurants.
Annual rental costs and operating costs vary with the size of the ovens. The ovens' capacities and costs are as follows:
|
Small |
Normal |
Big |
| Annual Capacity |
35,000 |
110,000 |

Please calculate the break-even (indifference) points between these three sizes.
Concept question: Should management lease the same type of oven and force every chain to use the same oven type? Explain why or why not?
