You are going to open a business selling customer cabinets. You can sell each cabinet for $80. It takes a cabinet make about 45 minutes per cabinet. Each cabinet maker works 8 hours a day, earning $18/hr. Each cabinet uses $25.00 in raw materials.You normally produce cabinets 20 days in a month. You estimate that your fixed costs are $5,000 per month.

What is your contribution margin?
How many cabinets must you make each month to break even?
What is your total monthly revenue if you want to profit $2,000?
Construct a break even chart for the custom cabinet firm?
Yes, this is a homework question… it is actually a practice problem…please help.
It is for a business finance class, not math…

We like a very clean, simple look, but are trying to get the wow factor out of the custom cabinets we are having built. The appliances are stainless still and the faucet is going to be brushed nickel. The floor in the kitchen will be a medium color wood. There are 6 windows in the kitchen, so the kitchen getting dark will not be a problem. Any help if this will look good or any other ideas of a different color granite would help.
