Answer:

c. decrease by $10,000 per year.

Explanation:

The contributing margin of a business is sales revenue less the variable cost to produce the product

Contributing margin refers to the profit that is free to be used by the business to pay fixed costs and reserve as net profit.

In this scenario if the department is discounted the fixed expense will reduce by $40,000

This implies that the net income will increase by $40,000 if the department is discontinued.

If the department is discontinued income from the department will reduce by $50,000. That is -$50,000

Net income= -50,000 + 40,000= -$10,000

On Monday, the regular price of a widget was discounted by 25 percent. On Tuesday, the reduced price was discounted by 50 percen
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

<u>The Regular Price was $112.50</u>

Explanation:

On Monday- Discounted -25% from original price

On Tuesday- Discounted -50% from the price from "Monday"

I am going to multiply

60 x 0.25 = $15

$15 was discounted from the original price so you should add it to 60

the price is 75 now. Next

We need to multiply 75 x 0.50 = $ 37.5

We do the same and add $37.5 to $75

Which equals = $112.5

<u>The Regular Price was $112.50</u>

Ask Me any questions in the comments so i can clarify myself.

Cheers!

Answer:

27%

Explanation:

The computation of the net profit margin is shown below;

As we know that

net profit margin = Net profit ÷ sales

where

net profit is

<u>Particulars                                                                 Amount </u>

Sales (200 customers × $12 × 350 days) $840,000

Less: cost of goods sold (200 customers × $4.50 × 350 days) -$315,000

Gross profit $525,000

Less:

Selling and admin expense -$98,510

Depreciation expense - $20,000

Bank loan interest -$76,265

Net income before tax $330,225

Less tax at 32% -$105,672

Net income after tax $224,553

Now the net profit margin is

= $224,553 ÷ $840,000

= 27%
