150-seat restaurant $8,000,000 is needed to construct the restaurant; no additional investment is needed in working capital.

The owners have 6,000,000 in cash and borrow the rest from the bank at 5%.
The projected average seat turnover is 2 (use 320 days open in a year).
The stockholders require a 15% return on their investment annually.
The restaurant pays income taxes at the rate of 25%.
The restaurant’s estimated undistributed expenses, not including income taxes, total $2,000,000.
The forecasted cost of food sold and variable labor is 50 percent of sales.

What is the projected annual total number of covers?

There is no information is given about per unit cost or sales price hence, a reverse calculation is to be made to find out the projected total revenue.

Now,

The reverse calculation to find sales is computed as follows:

Begin from the expected profit + Tax expenses + Interest Expenses + undistributed expenses + variable cost

Thus,

From the calculation of each term is as stated below:

1. The profit expected = 15% return on their investment. it is to be after tax return, total investment = $8000000,

So,

The Profit expected = $8000000 *15% = $1200000.

2. The tax xxpenses = 25% that is, it should be 25% on taxable profit which is decreased from it and then net profit after tax is available,

Thus,

we have net profit after tax we can compute the taxable profit as = $1200000 / 75% = $1600000. for example, tax amount on taxable profit = $160000 * 25% = $400000.

3. The Interest Expenses = 5% of borrowed fund from bank,

Now,

The borrowed fund from bank = $2000000 (8000000-6000000)

The expenses interest = $ 100000 ($2000000*5%)

4. Undistributed Expenses is stated as follows:

The Undistributed expenses are given in the question = $2000000.

5. Variable cost that is the labor cost and cost of food :

From the question it is given that it is 50% of the sales, which means the remaining 50% is the contribution.

Now

The contribution on reverse calculation is computed as:

Profit +taxes + Interest + fixed expenses

Contribution = 1200000 + 400000 + 100000 + 2000000 = $ 3700000,

Thus,

We say,let the sales be 10 , then variable cost be 50 and contribution is 50, that means variable cost = contribution in this case.

so, in proportional calculation , the variable cost = $3700000 .

Thus

The projected sales = expected profit + Tax expenses + Interest Expenses + undistributed expenses + variable cost

The total revenue projected =$1200000+ $ 400000 + $100000 + $ 2000000 +$ 3700000

Therefore, the total revenue projected = $ 7400000
