The formula is
I=prt
I interest paid 1120
p principle 32000
T time 4/12
R annual percentage interest rate?
Solve for r
R=I÷pt
R=1,120÷(32,000×(4÷12))
R=0.105×100
R=10.5%

Answer: $500
Explanation:
The payoff will be calculated thus:
Revenue = Unit demanded × Selling price = 160 × $35 = $5600
Expenses will be:
= Total purchase expense + Rent
= (220 × $15) + $1800
= $3300 + $1800
= $5100
Payoff will now be:
= Revenue - Expense.
= $5600 - $5100
= $500
