- For the past ten years, you’ve worked at a PETCO Salon as a dog groomer. You’re thinking of starting your own dog grooming business. You found a place you could rent that’s right next to a popular shopping center, and two of your friends (who are also dog groomers) have agreed to work for you. The problem is that you need to borrow money to start the business and your banker has asked for a breakeven analysis. You have prepared the following cost estimates for your first year of operations:
| Fixed Costs | |
| Salaries | $105,000 |
| Rent and utilities | $36,000 |
| Advertising | $2,000 |
| Equipment | $3,000 |
| Variable Cost per Dog | |
| Shampoo | $2.00 |
| Coat conditioner | $1.50 |
| Pet cologne | $0.75 |
| Dog treats | $1.25 |
| Hair ribbons | $0.50 |
