Question

you sell 4,000 per week in bags of dog food at 30% margin. You sell 3,000 per week in dog food toys at 45% margin. Which generates more margin for you ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Margin on dog food toys is more than margin on bags of dog food.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Sale of bags of dog food = 4000 per week

Margin on bags of dog food = 30%

Total margin on bags of dog food is

$4000\times \frac{30}{100}=1200$

Sale of dog food toys = 3000 per week

Margin on dog food toys = 45%

Total margin on dog food toys is

$3000\times \frac{45}{100}=1350$

Since 1350 > 1200, therefore margin on dog food toys is more than margin on bags of dog food.
