Answer:

Budgeted operating expense for Credit Card transactions:

Credit Card Transaction fee $0.20 x 30,000 + 1.5% of $9,000,000 = $141,000

Explanation:

The first element of the budgeted expense is $0.20 of 30,000 transactions.  This gives a value of $6,000.

The second element is 1.5% of the transaction value.  This gives a value of $135,000.

When added up, we have a total of $141,000 as the total expense to be budgeted for credit card transactions.

The essence of having such separate charges is to capture the volume of transactions as well as the value.  Transaction-based services are usually priced to include costs based on volume and value.

It is generally considered to be fair for the two parties involved.  Sometimes, the volume may be less but the value more and vice versa.  In order to compensate the service provider fairly, such arrangements are made to integrate volume and value in the pricing scheme.

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: If i am the general manager of the organization i will try to make a survey about customer relation in other competitive organization before i can conclude whether it is wise to cut down cost through removing giving out free gifts to customers like the free pop corn, coffee etc. Customers will choose other organizations where they can get the same quality service and other benefits especially in a perfectly competitive market. Rather i will suggest more profit can be made by slightly increasing the cost of services rendered to customers from which the cost of the freebies can be regained.

REY [17]

Answer:

If the company decides to increase its advertising budget, its net profits will  decrease by $200 (= $56,800 - $57,000).

Explanation:

The company is currently selling 5,000 units per month at $150 per unit, and its total variable costs are $90 per unit.

Fixed expenses are $243,000 per month.

Current income statement:

sales revenue =                    $750,000

minus variable costs =         ($450,000)

<u>minus fixed costs =              ($243,000)  </u>

net income =                           $57,000

If the company increases its advertising budget be $11,000 it should sell 180 more units per month, the new income statement would be:

sales revenue =                    $777,000

minus variable costs =         ($466,200)

<u>minus fixed costs =              ($254,000)  </u>

net income =                           $56,800

If the company decides to increase its advertising budget, its net profits will  decrease by $200 (= $56,800 - $57,000).
