She has develped the following cost estimates associated with the play:
1. Cost of printing invitations will be $360 for 100-500; cost to print between 501-1,000 will be $450.
2. Cost of readying and operating the theater for 3 evenings will be $900 if attendance is 500 or less; this cost rises to $1,200 if attendance is above 500.
3. Postage to mail the invitations will be $0.60 each.
4. Cost of building stage sets will be $1,800.
5. Cost of printing up to 1,000 programs will be $350.
6. Cost of security will be $110 per night plus $30 per hour; 5 hours will be needed each night.
7. Cost to obtain script usage is $2,000.
8. Costumes will be donated by several local businesses.
The Little Theater has 300 members, and each member is allowed 2 guests. Ordinarily only 60% of the members attend the summer offering. Of those attending, half bring one guest and the other half bring 2 guests. The play will be presented from 8 to 11 PM each evening. Invitations are mailed to those members calling to say they plan to attend and also to each of the guests they specify. Rankin has asked you to help her by answering the following items.
1. Indicate the type of cost behavior exhibited by each of the items Rankin needs to consider.
2. If the ordinary attendance occurs, what will be the total cost of the summer production?
3. If the ordinary attendance occurs, what will be the cost per person attending?
4. If 90% of the members attend and each invites 2 guests, what will be the total cost of the play? The cost per person? What primarily causes the differences in the cost per person?
