Tina, an entrepreneurial business student, wants to set up a business completing tax forms for other students. Her price would be $55.00 for each job. Fixed expenses include $264.00 for the tax software which Tina would purchase. Tina would hire some accounting students to complete the forms, paying them for two hours at $13 per hour for each job. She would also have paper and supplies costs of $5 per job.

Question 1: How many jobs would she have to generate before she starts to make a profit? Make the assumption that it takes an accounting student two hours to complete one tax return. Tina would have to generate tax returns before she starts to make a profit. (Round up to the nearest unit.)
