Help with figuring out break-even with boxing costs?
402568
Although you have 2 variables, 1 of them has a constraint - i.e. there is not an unlimited # of items per hour that can be boxed.\n\nIn your example, it's now costing you $1.80 per item. If, for example, the maximum (or optimum) # of items that could be boxed per hour was 100, then that cost is $0.18 per item. Paying $1.62 per box would be the break even point.\n\nTo analyze this further, you need to keep one of the variables constant and then look at the effect of the other variable.

First of all, a lot of the money that a boxer earns goes straight to the manager, trainer, et cetera.\n\nThen a large chunk of it goes to taxes.\n\nOf course, a lot of money got spent also. Houses, cars, a lifestyle suitable to a heavyweight champ, plus money given out to his friends.\n\nDon King took a lot of it, charging Tyson for various things. And the lawsuits between Tyson and King cost a lot.\n\nDon't forget Robin Givens and child support.\n\nAnd these expenses kept adding up even during the times that Tyson wasn't fighting and thus not making that money.\n\nHere are a few articles with various details:\nhttp://aolsvc.news.aol.com/sports/article.adp?id=20040727084309990001\nhttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5298011/\nhttp://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/106634p%2D96366c.html

a jump rope and a pair of running shoes cost less than $100.\nIf you like boxing, a 60lb heavy bag is around $100 and gloves are around $40.\n\nIf you are determined to join a club...it depends where you live. Lifetime Fitness are around $60 a month and offer alot of equipment. YMCA is great....local park district (if you have one) usually has a gym...

It is a good thing for you to see what your getting, but I agree it is a ploy to strong arm you!\n\nI would find the place you like and name drop about the other gyms. Since it is done on commision, I would wait until the end of the month and at the end of the day so you have an advantage because they need to make quotas.Same for buying a car!\n\nYou should ask people what they are paying as they enter and leave the gym to get a feel for the cost. Good luck!

If you are serious about the sport, you should join a boxing gym. There are several there. If not, then might even see if they will let you post a flyer that says you are looking for someone to spar with.

The answers listed by some of the peolple above are wrong.  A STRAIGHT  $5.00 trifecta would cost you $5.00, but a $1 trifecta BOX (with three horses) would cost you $6.00.  Therefore, a $5.00 trifecta box would cost you $30.00.....you multify 6 x 5.

depends on the volume and the bank. There are two types of lockboxes, retail and wholesale. Based upon your average reciept, youre probablt going to be looking at retail. Many banks have this thing called an ECR (Earnings Credit Rate), which means the cost of the lockbox can be offset by the amount kept on deposit. In order to answer your question, you would need to provide some more info.Shoot me an email at george.burnett@uboc.com and i'll get you a definitive answer

Pricing:\nYou need to figure out what your break-even revenues are i.e. how many drinks should you sell to cover all your expenses. \nFrom the break even revenues then, figure out how many units you need to move i.e. how many of X units do I have to sell to make the break even revenues of $Y dollars. \n\nThe break even price per unit you come up with will be the bottom end of your pricing strategy. Then do a little leg work and see what your local competitors are selling per unti and under cut them. \n\nYou will then be able advertise your grand open as having the cheapest drinks within a xx mile radius. That should draw a lot of people to the opening and hopefully you can make up on volume moved.\n\nIf you use break even, you will be able to hold that low price for longer provided your costs don't change significantly. As they change, then increase price either to another promotional pricing based on the same reasoning or to match competition or to the recommended retail price.\n\nEmployees:\nYou should pay at/above minimum wage for servers. A manager will be apid as negotiated btw the 2 of you. If this is your first restaurant business, you can work with a manager to help you understand the business esp. if you have no prior industry experience.

Nothing is lost. Their contribution is 47$ (23.5 $ each). This sum includes the 2$ for the cab, so the 2$ should not be added again to get the 49 sum.\n\n25$   25$\n---------\n1.5   1.5.......back\n1     1.........cab\n22.5  22.5......pen cost\n---------\n25$   25$\n\n=>Each paid 23.5$, the shop received 45 (22.5 from each), and the cab received 2$(1 from each).

Don't skimp when buying gloves. Try hitting someone on the forehead with cheap boxing gloves on. You will pay for it later with arthritis and other nagging injuries to your hands. Peace

There are a lot of websites that sell boxing dvds if you search for them. EBay is also a great place to find career sets. Just look at the seller's feedback first to make sure their previous customers have liked their dvds.
