The materials needed to produce a single batch of caramels for
sale are cream, butter, salt, sugar, corn syrup, cellophane
wrappers, and bags. I have calculated the cost of each item as
follows: $1.50 per cup cream, $0.12 per tablespoon butter,
$0.33 per teaspoon salt, $0.24 per cup sugar, $0.31 per ¼ cup
corn syrup, $0.02 per wrapper, and $0.06 per bag. To make a
medium batch of caramels, which will result in 16 units for sale,
I will need to use 5 cups cream 25 tablespoons butter 10
teaspoon salt, 7 ½ cup sugar, 1 ¼ cup corn syrup, 800 wrappers,
and 16 bags. The total direct materials cost to make the batch is
$34.11, and the total direct cost per unit is $2.13.
To cook the caramels will only require one employee making
$8.75 an hour and will take 45 minutes. To cut, wrap, weigh and
bag will take 1 employee making $8.75 an hour and will take 1
½ hour. The direct labor costs associated with making the batch
is $19.69, and the total direct labor cost per unit is $1.23.
The overhead costs of granite slab, candy thermometer, and
measuring cups. I can a granite slab for 250 batches, a candy
thermometer for 50 batches, and measuring cups for 50 batches.
The granite costs $0.40 per batch, monitor costs $0.24 per
batch, and measuring cups $0.20 per batch. The total overhead
per batch is $0.84 and per unit is $0.05.

The materials for the company that are needed are office
equipment and supplies, utilities, and employee costs and
mortgage, along with coverage for the entire store front. I
anticipate that all together the costs are as follows:
Office equipment/Supplies : $15,000 = total cost of start up
equipment/supplies
Employee Cost: $250,000 for all employees total

8. Mortgage: $10,000/month
Water: $2,000/month
Electricity: 8,000/month
The overhead costs that will be necessary are the package the
client picks, will decides the rate of insurance per month. The
liability insurance of course, will differentiate from full
coverage, along with gap insurance. Also I will have discounts
for full time college students, military and the elderly/disabled,
which will be 10% off the monthly rate of purchase, as well as
if a loyal member purchases their insurance in bulk for every 6
months they will receive an additional $250.00 off the total
cost.

Introduction
In this discussion I will be aiming at coming up with a new
business plan and start-up project plan. In this, I will be
evaluating my revenue as well as costs and marginal costs to my
profit. Thorough this, I will be able to prove the worth and
relevance of my business idea as well calculate and give a
report on my Break-even point.

10. Business Idea
For my business idea, I have chosen to venture into the coffee
business by starting my own coffee shop. Many of the working
and studying societies have an 87% chance of using coffee or
going to coffee shops either for brief meetings, study points or
meet up points making it likely for them to purchase coffee as
the main commodity. (Knight, Knight, Mitchell & Zepp, 2004)
Due to the busy schedules students and the working class have,
coffee shops end up the main spot for having a quick and pocket
friendly breakfast. The benefits of coffee to act as stimulant has
also become a major influence since it can be used by students
when it comes to overnight studies. Thus, this has made it
favorable for it being my business idea since there is a gap that
I can tap in turn earning profits at a very favorable state.
Start – Up
For my coffee shop I will use the tall bar sets we used to have
in our country house and with some of the unique furniture I
will use to decorate and adorn the coffee shop by giving it a
modern vintage appearance. I will also use earth colors to match
to the vintage art work and tall bar set up in a coffee shop. I
have opted for a unique look since in this generation and time,
social media has been a major marketing factor thus, creating a
social, easy on the eye and artistic coffee shop I will be able to
attract many more clients. I will use some of the savings I have
as well as involve my parents to my business idea with the aim
of attaining a small loan to add on to my savings. With a
starting capital of $ 1,000 I will be ready to set up my business.
(Accounting, 2015)
Products and Costs
In my coffee shop business, I will also offer other commodities
with an aim of offering a large variety of snacks and drinks to
my client’s coffee being the main commodity. I will allocate the
cost of my commodities as seen below;
