How many relief employees do you need if you have 40 full-time employees? A 22 B 72 C 62 D 42
22!! About 0.55 employees are needed for the everyday coverage of a full-time employee, or full-time equivalent (FTE). A relief worker covers days off for the FTE. FTEs typically work 236 days per year due to days off and benefits days, which add up to 129 days. To determine the actual number of relief workers needed, multiply the number of FTEs by 0.55 (129/236) to get the number of relief workers needed to cover 365 days per year. To solve: 40 FTEs x 0.55 = 22 relief workers

Determine the break-even point for Christy's Cafeteria based on the following information: Total fixed costs = $22,250 Variable costs per average-priced meal = $2.60 Selling price per average-priced meal = $4.75
To solve for BE, use one of the following methods: BE in number of units sold (use to determine the number of units that need to sell to break even) = FC / Sales - VC BE in sales volume (use to determine the number of dollars that need to be earned to break even) = FC / 1- (VC/Sales) This question asks for the number of units (meals) that need to be sold to break even, so method #1 should be used: BE = FC/ sales - VC = 22,250/ 4.75 - 2.60 BE = 10,348 average-priced meals To break even, Christy's Cafeteria needs to sell 10,348 averaged-priced meals. If they sell less than this, they will lose money; if they sell more than this, they will make a profit.
