Problem:

The owner of a restaurant is considering two alternatives to improve operating results. The first alternative reduces food costs from 42% to 37% by improved purchasing and reduced portions. No other changes. The second alternative also cuts food costs to 37% but also spends $2,000 on advertising to increase food and beverage sales by 20%. Extra customers will cause costs to increase in these categories: $2,000 in wages, $800 in supplies, $200 in administrative, $300 in repairs and $100 in utilities. Prepare the alternative projections.
