He will need the services of the following: 2 mechanics each earning P400 a day, and 8 helpers earning P200 a day. These men will work on average 300 days a year. His other expenses are the following:
Rental = P30,000 a month
Miscellaneous = P25,000 a month
Sales tax = 3% of gross income
Insurance = 2%
The length of his lease is 5 years. If the average charge for each car repair by his shop is P1,000. Determine the number of cars he must service in one year so that he will obtain a profit of at least 20% on his investment?
