Answer:

100%

Explanation:

Let the normal retail price of the sweater be 'SP' and the cost price be 'CP'

Therefore,

The selling price = SP - 40% of SP = SP - 0.4SP = 0.6SP

Now,

the profit = 20% of CP = 0.2CP

also,

Profit = Selling Price - Actual price

or

0.2CP = 0.6SP - CP

or

1.2CP = 0.6SP

Or

CP = 0.5SP

or

SP = 2CP

thus,

Increase percentage in sweater marked up from wholesale at its normal retail price

= \frac{SP-CP}{CP}\times 100

or

=  \frac{2CP-CP}{CP}\times 100

= 100%

ycow [4]

Answer: $74,000

Explanation:

The Average Investment refers to the average cash invested into a particular project and is useful in calculating the rate of return. The simple formula is to add the beginning value of the asset to its ending value and divide this by 2.

The ending value in this case would be the salvage value;

Average Investment = \frac{Beginning Cost of Machine + Salvage Value}{2}

= \frac{144,000 + 4,000}{2}

= $74,000

lesantik [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The three main parts of a speech are the introduction, the body, and the conclusion.

Explanation:

The speech is a succession of words, expressed orally, that serve to express what we want or want to say.

Its main function has been from its origins to communicate or expose, but with the main objective of persuading its audience.

The speech is composed of three parts: introduction, body and conclusion:

-The introduction is one of the most important parts of the discourse since in this it is exposed the subject that will be treated.

Its function is to mark that the speech begins, attract the attention of the receiver, dissipate animosities, gain sympathy, set the interest of the recipient and establish the theme, thesis or objective.

-The body is the longest part since the whole theme is exposed in it: doubts and everything necessary to expose a considered justification of the idea are taken out.

-The conclusion is a strategic point, since it makes a small reflection about all of the above. The end must constitute the compendium of what has been said.
