Help! A screwdriver set has a selling price per unit of $27.95. It also has fixed costs of $837,500, variable costs per unit of $3.25 and estimated sales of 55,000. What is the possible net profit?

OHHHH

OpenStudy (nicholausblackmon):

A

OpenStudy (nicholausblackmon):

need me to explain?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes please

OpenStudy (nicholausblackmon):

The final price the store is going to get is 1,537,250. That is the price per unit times the price overall

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So that is the answer? not 521,000?

OpenStudy (nicholausblackmon):

NOOOOO

OpenStudy (nicholausblackmon):

ITS A

OpenStudy (nicholausblackmon):

im explaining

OpenStudy (nicholausblackmon):

you mulitply to get the final price which is 1,537,250. That is how much the store is going to earn overall. The price from the company for the screw drivers was 837,500. They have to pay the company back s they subtract that from 1,537,250 and they get

OpenStudy (nicholausblackmon):

699,750

OpenStudy (nicholausblackmon):

then you have to muliply 55,000 by 3.25 because that is the range. and you get 178,750

OpenStudy (nicholausblackmon):

This amount is like giving a tax reduction

OpenStudy (nicholausblackmon):

so you subtract 699,750 by 178,750

OpenStudy (nicholausblackmon):

and you get the final answer...A

OpenStudy (nicholausblackmon):
