Mohan, an artist, wants to know how many caricatures he must sell to realize a yearly profit objective of $30,000. Each caricature sells for $20 and costs $5 in materials to make. The fixed costs for Mohan’s studio are $30,000 per year. A distribution chain for hotel room art includes the artist, a wholesaler, the hotel chain, and the individual hotel franchise owner. The artist sells each painting to the wholesaler for $80, realizing a 75% margin on the selling price. The wholesaler sells the art to the hotel chain for a 50% margin. The hotel chain then sells the art to its individual hotel franchise owners, and earns a 20% margin. If the cost for the artist to produce each painting doubles due to a shortage in canvas, what is the new cost to the hotel franchise owner if every member of the distribution chain maintains the same DOLLAR margin?
