Revenues:

  • Adults passengers $214,400
  • Children $32,160                      
  • Total revenues                                       $246,560

Variable costs:

  • City fees $24,656
  • Souvenirs $7,370
  • Brokerage fees $11,256
  • Carriage drivers $52,260
  • Total variable costs                                  $95,542

  • Horse leases $48,000
  • Marketing expenses $7,350
  • Payroll expenses $7,600

Operating profit                                                $85,168

2) If the total amount of passengers increase by 20%, then all variable costs will increase by 20% except brokerage fees which would increase only by 12%. Revenues should also increase by 20%. Period costs should not change.

Contribution margin should increase by 20.6% and operating profit would increase by 36.5%.
