Answer:

a.Titanium = $2,890,500

Platinum = $5,185,000

b. Platinum is more profitable

Explanation:

The computation of given question is shown below:

For Titanium

Total gross margin = 5,000 × $1,590

= $7,950,000

Salaries and bonus of Customer representative = ($68,000 × 5,000 ÷ 200) + (1% × $7,950,000)

= $1,700,000 + $79,500

= $1,779,500

b.

Promotion cost = $2,850,000 × 80%

= $2,280,000

Excess of gross margin over customer costs = Total gross margin - Salaries and bonus of Customer representative - Promotion cost

= $7,950,000 - $1,779,500 - $2,280,000

= $2,890,500

For Platinum

Total Gross margin = 20,000 × $ 325

= $6,500,000

Salaries and bonus of Customer representative = ($68,000 × 20,000 ÷ 2,000) + (1% × $6,500,000 )

= $680,000 + $65,000

= $745,000

Cost of promotion = $2,850,000 × 20%

= $570,000

Since, 80% is allocated for promotion expenses of titanium so we assume 20% for Platinum

Excess of gross margin over customer costs = Total Gross margin - Salaries and bonus of Customer representative - Cost of promotion

= $6,500,000  - $745,000 - $570,000

= $5,185,000

B. Since, Platinum is higher than Titanium. So, Platinum is more profitable.

The growers of Sunny Day Citrus have determined that their chief priority for choosing a transportation mode within the United S
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Rail transportation

Explanation:

Considering the situation described above in the questions, Sunny Day Citrus should use RAIL TRANSPORTATION to ship their oranges.

There are basically four means of shipping goods, these include road, maritime, rail, and air shipment.

However, considering the need to achieve quick transit time, low margins, low cost, and the highest level of reliability the best means of use is RAIL TRANSPORTATION.

This is because while Air shipment is the fastest, it is the most expensive. Also, the Maritime or Ship may be the lowest in terms of cost, but since it is within the United States, it would be relatively expensive compared to rail and also is the slowest in terms of transit time.

Similarly, the road may be faster and relatively cheaper compared to air, but not as cheaper compared to the rail in a long distance.

Rail transportation offers cheaper, low margins, reliability as it is difficult to have accidents and robbery of such commodities inside the train. It is also quite faster compared to ship.

Hence, in this case, the right answer is RAIL TRANSPORTATION

A company finds that there is a linear relationship between the amount of money that it spends on advertising and the number of
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

y = (x / 100) + 100

Explanation:

First, we need to know the amount of money that it spends on advertising for each extra unit sold. That would be equal to: 2,500 / 25 = 100

This value will be the divisor of the advertising expense (x) to obtain the variable factor of the number of units.

Since 100 units are already sold without investment, this value is taken as fixed and added.

And with the previous data, the formula remains:

y = (x / 100) + 100
