Fixed costs per game are $8,000 for rentals of heating, cooking, mixing, and cooling equipment.The stadium management requested that bids be made in the form of royalties on sales. The highest percentage of sales bid will win the contract.What percentage of sales can Newkirk pay as royalty to the stadium and earn $180,000 for the season?
