Lemonade Stand Profit Sheet

Work out what it cost, what came in, and whether the day was actually worth it.

Hours we worked
= Profit per hour
Talk about it afterwards
  1. Did we make money? If we lost money, what would you change next time — the price, the costs, or the spot?
  2. When was the queue longest? What does that tell you about when to open?
  3. What would happen if you doubled the price? What if you halved it?
  4. Somebody complained or didn’t like it — what did you do? What would you do next time?
  5. You spent a whole afternoon on this. What else could you have done with it? Was this worth more?
