Assume that Painless Dental Clinics, Inc., offers three basic dental services. The following are its prices and costs. Price Variable cost Units sold
per unit per unit per unit
Cleaning $ 380 210 8,000
Filling 660 640 1,700
Capping 1,525 890 300
Variable costs include the labor costs of the dental hygienists and dentists. Fixed costs of $530,000 per year include building and equipment costs, marketing costs, and the costs of administration. Painless Dental Clinics is subject to a 20 percent tax rate on income.
A cleaning "unit" is a routine teeth cleaning that takes about 45 minutes. A filling "unit" is the work done to fill one or more cavities in one session. A capping "unit" is the work done to put a crown on one tooth. If more than one tooth is crowned in a session, then the clinic counts one unit per tooth (e. g., putting crowns on two teeth counts as two units).
Required:
a. Given this information, how much will Painless Dental Clinics, Inc., earn each year after taxes?
b. Assuming the given sales mix is the same at the break-even point, at what sales revenue does Painless Dental Clinics, Inc., break even?
c. Assuming the given sales mix, at what sales revenue will the company earn $166,000 per year after taxes?
d-1. Painless Dental Clinics, Inc., is considering becoming more specialized in cleanings and fillings. What would be the company’s revenues per year if the number of cleanings increased to 11,000 per year, the number of fillings increased to 1,800 per year, while the number of cappings dropped to zero? With this change in product mix, the company would increase its fixed costs to $580,000 per year. What would be the effect of this change in product mix on the clinic’s earnings after taxes per year?
d-2. If the clinic's managers seek to maximize the clinic's after-tax earnings, would this change be a good idea?

Alandowner and his neighbor purchased adjoining undeveloped lots. after both built homes on their respective lots, the landowner suggested to the neighbor that a common driveway be built where the two lots joined. the neighbor agreed. the landowner and the neighbor split the cost of constructing the driveway and entered into a written agreement to equally share the costs of its upkeep and maintenance. the agreement was recorded in the county recorder's office. two years later, the neighbor built a new driveway located entirely on his lot. the common driveway, which the landowner continued to use but which the neighbor no longer used, began to deteriorate. the landowner asked the neighbor for money to maintain the common driveway, but the neighbor refused to contribute. three years later, the neighbor conveyed his lot to a friend. the friend entered into possession and used only the driveway built by the neighbor. by this time, the common driveway had deteriorated badly and contained numerous potholes. the landowner asked the friend to pay half of what it would take to repair the common driveway. the friend refused. the landowner repaired the driveway and sued the friend for 50% of the cost of repairs. will the landowner prevail?
