Paula is trying to determine whether the segments she is considering for her day care center will be profitable. Which of the following will not specifically help her in this analysis?
1. the number of children needing day care in the immediate area
2. the fixed costs of operating the center
3. the percentage of parents in the area who can both afford to send their child or children to day care and who are willing to do so
4. the average number of school-age children in families sending a child to the day care center
5. the price she would charge minus the variable cost of providing service to each child

Hey there!

The answer is 4. the average number of school-age children in families sending a child to the day care center.

All of the other things would be important to the analysis.

Unless the daycare has some sort of after school program as well, there would be no need to know the average number of school-age children in families sending a child to the day care center because the school-age children wouldn't be involved in the day care center. They would be at school during the day, and therefore wouldn't need day care.

Hope this helps!
