7.2 Important Assumptions

  • We are assuming steady growth from the 3 counties we service.
  • We are assuming adequate funding to sustain us during start-up.
  • We are assuming that the popularity of gymnastics does not decrease.
  • We are assuming that there will be no other private gyms starting up in close proximity to us.

7.3 Break-even Analysis

Table 7.3 summarizes the break-even analysis. The Break-even Analysis is based on the average of the first-year figures for total sales, and by operating expenses. Our variable costs are relatively low and our main operating costs are salaries for teachers.

Break-even Analysis
Monthly Revenue Break-even $11,973
Assumptions:
Average Percent Variable Cost 31%
Estimated Monthly Fixed Cost $8,306

7.4 Projected Profit and Loss

As the Profit and Loss table shows, the company expects to continue its steady growth in profitability over the next three years of operations. Aside from payroll, Rent and Insurance are our largest expenses. The rent for the studio we have chosen is reasonable for the square footage, which will allow us to conduct multiple classes (or classes and birthday parties) at the same time. Insurance demands when dealing with young children and physical activity are high, but the owners’ prior experience will keep these costs affordable.

Payroll taxes are based on wages and salaries for all employees, including hourly teachers (shown here as direct cost of sales).
