QUESTION 74. Mr. Cloarec is the manager of the restaurant "A la Bonne Crêpe de Quimper".
To solve its profitability problems, he hires you as a management controller.
In 2023, the creperie recorded an operating loss of -€25,700 and Mr. Cloarec wonders if it would be possible to break even for his creperie in the future.
In 2023, the creperie served 5,000 pancakes for a total cost of €55,700.
Specifically, the main cost items are:
* Basic products (buckwheat pancakes, eggs, ham, lettuce...): 17,925 €
* Personnel costs: 28,400 €
* Depreciation (equipment and materials): 2,760 €
* Disposable dishes (cutlery, glasses, napkins, packaging, bags, etc.) 1,380 €
* Miscellaneous costs (administration, heating, electricity): 5,235 €

The restaurant charges an average of €6 per pancake served.
Mr. Cloarec then decided to increase the average price of the pancake to €12. What is the operating result with this new assumption ?
