QUESTION 73. 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 €
Mr. Cloarec considers that the costs of food and disposable dishes are expenses that vary in proportion to the number of meals served. Depreciation and miscellaneous costs are fixed costs. As for personnel costs, half are fixed costs, the other half can be considered as variable costs.
The restaurant charges an average of €6 per pancake served.
What is the break-even point in turnover of the creperie?
