Cost of 1 class: total value units unit value
Building related cost #DIV/0!
Salaries, supplies, food #DIV/0!
Cost of 1 class #DIV/0!
Selling price 270.0
Profit of 1 class #DIV/0!

Cost of 1 party:
Salaries, supplies, food - - #DIV/0!
Cost of 1 party #DIV/0!
Selling price 200
Profit of 1 party #DIV/0!

Comments:
The cost of 1 class is almost 3 times higher than the cost of 1 party, because of the building related costs.
Most of the profit of the company comes from the parties
Business decisions: increase the number of parties, reduce the costs, make more profit from classes, increa
What if the company decided to drop the classes because the profit of 1 classe if close to 0?
Be careful, calculate the unit contribution margin first, before deciding any drop
