Question

How long would it take before the Hendersons would recover their costs if they chose to do it themselves over the professional service? a. 5 months b. 9 months c. 10 months d. 6 months.

Answer 1

To solve the problem we will calculate the cost in both cases.

Hendersons will be able to recover their costs if they chose to do it themselves in 2 months.

Given to us

Do-It-Yourself Option

• $250 for the lawnmower
• $135  for edger Includes mowing and edging
• $69 for hedge trimmer lawn, trimming the bushes, and
• $25 for rake, raking the leaves.

Professional Service

• $75 for the first month
• $45 per month after the initial visit

Total cost if they do it themselves,

Total cost if they do it themselves = $250 + $135 + $69 + $25

                                                         = $479

So, it will take $479 for them if they start doing it by themselves.

Total cost if they take Professional Service for a year

Total cost if they take Professional Service = Initial fees + monthly fee

                                                                       = $75 + (11 month x $45)

                                                                       = $570

So, it will charge $570 if they take Professional Service for a year.

Difference between the Cost

Difference between if they do it themselves and if they take a professional service

= $570 -$479

= $91

So, if they try to do it themselves they will save $91, which is approximately two times the monthly fee of the professional service.

Hence, Hendersons will be able to recover their costs if they chose to do it themselves in 2 months.
