Answer:

$ 7000

Explanation:

Given data;

Weekly salary of the salesperson = $ 600

Commission earned = 1 % on the sales over $ 2000

The amount earned by the salesman in the week = $ 650

Thus, the commission received = $ 650 - $ 600 = $ 50

Now,

let the amount over $ 2000 for which the commission of $ 50 paid be 'x'

therefore,

1 % of x = $ 50

or

0.01x = $ 50

or

x = $ 5000

Hence, the total sales was of $ 2000 + $ 5000 = $ 7000

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

a) Contribution from the special order= $52,640.  

b) Stuart should accept the order

Explanation:

The amount of contribution to profit from the special order is the difference between the revenue  and the relevant cost of variable cost of the special order.

The relevant cost of the special order is equal the sum of all variable cost only.

Note that the allocated facility overhead is irrelevant to whether to accept or reject the order. This is so because the costs would still be incurred either way.

Relevant variable costs of special order = (880 + 510) × 47 = $65,330

Sales revenue = 2,510 × 47 =  $117,970.00

Contribution from the special order =$117,970.00 -  $65,330

                                                            = $52,640.00

B) Stuart should accept the special order because it would increase its profit by $52,640.
