The Skulls, a student social organization, has two different locations under consideration for constructing a new chapter house. The Skulls' president, a POM student, estimates that due to differing land costs, utility rates, etc., both fixed and variable costs would be different for each of the proposed sites, as follows LocationAnnual FixedVariableAlpha Ave.$5,000 $200per personBeta Blvd.$8,000 $150per person If it is estimated that 30 persons will be living in this new chapter house, which location should the Skulls select

Answer:

The Skulls

The location that Skulls should select is:

Alpha Avenue.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated number of persons living in this new chapter house = 30

                    Fixed       Variable                   Total Cost

Alpha Ave. $5,000       $200 per person     $11,000

Beta Blvd.  $8,000        $150 per person    $12,500

b) The location that Skulls should select must minimize the total cost.  The location which meets this criterion is Alpha Avenue, with a total cost of $11,000.  This is purely because of the number of persons living in the chapter house.  Assuming that this number would increase, then it may be considered economically better to choose the Beta Boulevard instead of the Alpha Avenue.
