You decided to leave your job and operate a video rental store in the office space you inherited. At the end of the first year, your books showed total revenues of $60,000 and total costs of $30,000 for video purchases, utilities, taxes, and supplies. What is the total cost of operating the video store?

Answer 1

Answer:

Total cost of operating the video store is $110,000

Total income lost = $55,000 + $25,000 = $80,000

Total cost of operating the video store = Total income you lost + total costs for video purchases, utilities, taxes, and supplies = $80,000 + $30,000 = $110,000
