Based on the information given, the average number of customers who must visit each store per hour to break even for the year will be 27.
Calculating the break even.
Firstly, the contribution margin ratio will be:
= [(Net income + Fixed cost) / Sales]
= (500,000 + 854,000) / 4,500,000
= 1,354,000 / 4,500,000
= 0.30
Then, the breakeven sales will be:
= Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
= 854,000 / 0.30
= 2,846,666.66
Breakeven customers will be:
= Breakeven sales / sales per customer
= 2,846,666.66 / 4
= 711,667
Breakeven customers in each store will be:
= Breakeven customers / number of stores
= 711,667 / 6
= 118,611
Breakeven customers per day will be:
= Breakeven customers in each store / days in a year
= 118,611 / 365
= 325
Breakeven customers per hour will be:
= Breakeven customers per day / hours in a day
= 325 / 12
= 27
