Question

"Gamboa, Inc. sold 100 selfie sticks for $25 each. If the selfie sticks had an average cost of $1 to produce, how much profit did the company make

Answer 1

Answer:

$2400

Explanation:

Average cost is the ratio of total cost of production to the total number of units produced, it is the sum of both the average fixed cost and the average variable cost. The average cost is given by the formula:

Average cost = Total cost / number of units.

Given that:

The total number of units produced = 100 selfie sticks, Average cost = $1 and Price of each selfie stick = $25

From Average cost = Total cost / number of units.

Substituting gibes:

$1 = Total cost / 100 selfie stick

Total cost = $1 × 100 = $100

Total cost = $100

Revenue = Price per item × Number of items

Revenue = $25 × 100 = $2500

Profit = Revenue - Total cost

Profit = $2500 - $100 = $2400

Total cost = $2400
