Terry believes the restaurant could greatly improve its profitability by reducing the complexity and selling price of its entrees to increase the number of clients that it serves. It would then more heavily market its appetizers and beverages. She is proposing to drop the contribution margin ratio on the main entrees to 10% by dropping the average selling price. She envisions an expansion of the restaurant that would increase fixed costs by 50%. At the same time, she is proposing to change the sales mix to the following.
Percent of Total Sales
Contribution Margin Ratio

Appetizers 20% 60%
Main entrees 30% 10%
Desserts 10% 50%
Beverages 40% 80%

Compute the total restaurant sales, and the sales of each product line that would be necessary to achieve the desired target net income.

Suppose that Terry drops the selling price on entrees and increases fixed costs as proposed in the second part of the question, but customers are not swayed by the marketing efforts and the sales mix remains what it was in the first part of the question. Compute the total restaurant sales and the sales of each product line that would be necessary to achieve the desired target net income. (Round weighted-average contribution margin to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)
