Andre has asked you to evaluate his business, Andre's Hair Styling. Andre has five barbers working for him. (Andre is ot one of them.) Each barber is paid $9.90 per hour and works a 40-hour week and a 50-week year, regardless of the number of haircuts. rent and other fixed expenses are $1,750 per month. Assume that the only service performed is the giving of haircuts, the unit price of which is $12. Andre has asked you to find the following information.

1. Find the contribution margin per haircut. Assume that the barbers' compensation is a fixed cost.

2. Determine the annual break-even point, in the number of haircuts.

3. What will be the operating income if 20,000 haircuts are performed?

4. Suppose Andre revises the compensation method. The barbers will receive $4 per hour plus $6 for each haircut. What is the new contribution margin per haircut? What is the annual break-even point (in number of haircuts)?
