The Government Charges A High Tax On Cigarettes And Gasoline Because These Are Things They Know People Will Want To Buy. Gas Is Something Most People Need As An Everyday Essential No Matter How High They Make The Tax Someone Will Pay For It Because Its Something They Need.
company A :
30,000 + 0.03(37499) = 31124.97...sales less then 37500
30,000 + 0.03(37501) = 31125.03....sales exceed 37500
30,000 + 0.03(249000) = 37470 ...sales less then 250000
30,000 + 0.03(251000) = 37530....sales exceed 250000
company B :
25,000 + 0.05(37499) = 26874.95...sales less then 37500
25,000 + 0.05(37501) = 26875.05...sales exceed 37500
25000 + 0.05(249000) = 37450...sales less then 250000
25,000 + 0.05(251000) = 37550...sales exceed 250000
so i believe your answer is option b,
company A pays better when sales are less then 250,000, but company B pays better when sales exceed 250,000 <==
