Question: Total costs and unit costs, service setting. National Training recently started a business providing training events for corporations. In order to better understand the profitability of the business, the owners asked you for an analysis of costs-what costs are fixed, what costs are variable, and so on, for each training session. You have the following cost information:

Trainer: $11,000 per session Materials: $2,500 per session and $35 per attendee Catering Costs (subcontracted): Food: $75 per attendee Setup/cleanup: $25 per attendee Fixed fee: $5,000 per training session National Training is pleased with the service they use for the catering and have allowed them to place brochures on each dinner table as a form of advertising. In exchange, the caterer gives National Training a $1,000 discount per session.

2. Suppose 100 persons attend the next event. What is National Training's total net cost and the cost per attendee?

3. Suppose instead that 175 persons attend? What is National Training's total net cost and the cost per attendee?
