During 2008 the Training Centre conduction 200 workshops with 20 individuals in each. The charge per individual was $300. This is the maximum number of workshops that can be held in a year.
Following are the results for 2008.
Training Revenue (200 x 20 x $300) $1,200,000
Less Expenses:
Trainer costs (200 x 2 x $1500) 600,000
Manager’s Salary 120,000
Training officer 90,000
Administrative staff 80,000
Utilities/phone costs 20,000
Manuals for participants 120,000
Advertising costs 125,000
Postage & other miscellaneous costs 9,450
Total expenses $ 1,164,450

Common Allocated costs (10% of revenue) 120,000
Net Income or (loss) $(84,450)
Required:
1. Given the allocated costs at 10% of revenue, calculate the number of workshops that must be offered to break-even.
2. Re-calculate #2 above, assuming Janice can re-negotiate the part-time trainers’ cost to $1000 per workshop.
3. With the increase in globalization and companies outsourcing many jobs, Janice thinks that, in addition to management training, the Training Centre should offer “second career” training. Janice feels that this will add 100 more workshops with an average enrollment of 15 participants at a cost of $200 each. The rate per participant is based on the fact that a non-profit organization has offered its facilities, free of charge, to run the workshops.
What effect will this have on the Training Centre profit?
Note: The trainers will be paid $1000 per workshop. The only other additional cost will be manuals at $15 each.
