The newspaper theory was used to complete the sales data, but this data point should be considered a soft number as it is based off of a newspaper assumption. Break-even analysis uses the formula of Sales = Variable costs + Fixed costs + Net income (Kimmel, Weygandt, & Kieso, 2009).
|Sales = |Variable costs + |Fixed costs + |Net income + |
|$7,800 = |$1,800 |$6,000 |$0 |

My Fitness Pal is a very reliable tool that has helped me track my macro nutrients onto my phone and has helped me lose weight.The app has many features that helped me balance my diet, like the nutrition tab. The nutrition tab shows your calories, nutrients and macros. This is very helpful because it helps me see what i’m eating and allows me to replace things that may not be good for my health. For example, if i’m eating an unhealthy amount of macaroni and cheese it tells me that this food is high in saturated and carbs, it’ll then give me a recommended replacement food that is much healthier, such as a Tomato Soup or a Rice Bowl.
The rise of the U.S. health club industry can be traced back to the 1980s and 1990s when the majority of health clubs emerged. By 2004, this $14 billion industry claimed 41 million members. Although the health club industry operated in a perfectly competitive market, several prominent key players gained large market share, including Bally Total Fitness and 24 hour Fitness. This perfect competition encouraged entry of smaller emerging firms into the industry. In 2004, the health club industry consisted of 26,000 clubs in the U.S. Of this growing market,
The Cost-Volume-Profit analysis (CVP) for Snap Fitness provides an evaluation of its profits as costs and volume changes. As the owner of a Snap Fitness franchise, decisions about selling prices, product mix, and maximizing the use of the fitness center depends on CVP.

Nationally, Orangetheory Fitness is the fastest growing fitness franchise, at least partially due to the innovative ideas it brings to fitness. In detail, Orangetheory Fitness locations in Ann Arbor and nationally are effective in communicating the brand to community members using social media among other tactics. The reason that this brand strategy works is because of the niche industry that Orangetheory Fitness is in: a specialized fitness development program that is beyond just a gym. While there are other fitness centers out there that follow a similar strategy, none of them have established a sense of community, that’s Orangetheory’s competitive advantage.
We stopped at the closest Snap Fitness, hoping that no one would be there, but we had no such luck. We walked in barefoot, none of us daring to put our heels back on from the night before, walking through the people working to the back of the gym, hoping, once more, for showers. Instead we found a single sink. Making do we washed the makeup off of our faces as best we could, and repeated our barefoot walk through the gym. Getting back into the car, food became the next priority. There was a McDonald’s across the street and we pooled our money to get each of us breakfast sandwiches and parked in the Walmart parking lot and ate. We began cleaning up the car, clothes and shoes and jewelry and blankets back in bags. Then, once more, we sat. It
Through this case study I will be discussing strategic management. Strategic management can be defined as a process where an organization attempts to determine what actions need to be taken to achieve the overall objectives and more importantly how to meet them (Mello, 2015, p. 114). For a company to strive and meet their goals, deadlines, and missions they must stay conscious of the strategic plan put in place for the success of the company. If the company does not have a good strategic plan the company could fail. With correct planning a company could succeed without fail. Something that needs to be taken into consideration in the strategic plan should be investing into the company’s human assets. At first it may look like it is causing the company more issues however in the long run it will strengthen the company and moral making a more successful company. This could help with customer relations, and the organization status which will help produce additional revenue for the company.

I really enjoyed reading your post on licenses and franchises. I have not had much experience with licenses but have with franchises. During high school and college, I worked at a franchise called Curves for Women. This was originally started as a women’s only gym out of Waco, TX. Gary Heavin the founder decided to make it a franchise. You started to see Curves pop up everywhere being it was a woman only gym, 30-minute workout, and three days a week. It had a lot of selling points to make business managers want to take part in this adventure. I worked with Curves for 7 years. An article by Obesity, Fitness, & Wellness Week talks about how Curves was going in the oddest places. The small towns were a target for them. At the time,

It is common knowledge that gym equipment is expensive, but we will not have as much to acquire since we will only host people for sessions (compared to regular gyms where a myriad of people come and go as they please). We want to have at least $40,000 when we begin. About $20,000 will go towards starting the business while the other $20,000 will be kept in cash for an contingencies that may arise. Each of the three partners will put up $10,000 of their own money, and the other $10,000 will be acquired through a three-year bank loan at a 4.29% interest rate, which will cost about $297 per month. We are only able to estimate, but if we are anywhere close to our projections, then we will be in excellent
A company's break-even point is the amount of sales or revenues that it must generate in order to equal its expenses. In other words, it is the point at which the company neither makes a profit nor suffers a loss. Calculating the break-even point (through break-even analysis) can provide a simple, yet powerful quantitative tool for managers. In its simplest form, break-even analysis provides insight into whether or not revenue from a product or service has the ability to cover the relevant costs of production of that product or service. Managers can use this information in making a wide range of business decisions, including setting prices, preparing competitive bids, and applying for loans.
