Multiple Choice
A. $30,500.
B. $22,500.
C. $30,500
D. $33,500.
E. $23,500.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is D that is $33,500

Explanation:

The total cost for the oranges = Direct cost + Indirect cost

= (Number of carton × Rate per carton) + (Number of carton × Rate per carton)

= (1,000 × $10)  + (1,000 × $16.50)

= $10,000  + $16,500

= $26,500

Total Revenue = Number of carton × Selling price

= 1,000 × $30

= $30,000

Profit from oranges = Revenue - Cost

= $30,000 - $26,500

= $3,500

Profit or loss from from processing into the orange juice is computed:

Total Cost = Number of carton × Price

= 1,000 × $12.50

= $12,500

Revenue = Number of carton × Selling Price

=1,000 × $46

= $46,000

Profit or loss = Revenue - Cost

= $46,000 - $12,500

= $33,500

Therefore, Corporation has a profit of 33,500.
