Yeah, I see what you mean Julie. I think formula c) needs tweaking. Illustration about occupancy ratio (My apologizes if this is painfully obvious to anyone.)
If your space can handle 10 occupants. Deciding on a 80% occupancy ratio would mean you try to sell at max 12 - 13 memberships. You're assuming on any given day 2 - 3 people will not come into the space. You could also add padding for slow months by calculating the member dues as if your space can handle only, lets say, 6 occupants. So perhaps formula c) changes to introduce a new variable "min_membership": a) space_total_area / space_per_person = max_occupancy b) max_memberships = max_occupancy / occupancy_ratio c) expenses / min_memberships = cost_per_member Then max_memberships is the most memberships you can sell (and is the best potential your space can achieve) and min_memberships is the fewest amount of members you can have and be sustainable.
