Answer:

The answer is "$4,000 and $2,500"

Explanation:

Formula:  

\text{Profit = Sales - Total cost}

= \frac{\text{Selling price}}{unit} \times \text{volume of Sale} - ( \text{Fixed cost} + \frac{\text{Variable cost}}{unit} \times \text{volume of Sale})

= 1.20 \times 30000 - ( 14,000 + 0.6 \times  30,000)\\\\= 36,000 -( 14,000 + 18,000)\\\\= 36,000 - 14,000 - 18,000 \\\\= 36,000 - 32,000 \\\\= \$ 4,000

 The scenario was revised by installing new audio connection equipment:

The volume of revised sales= 50,000

Fixed cost updated = \$ 41,000 + \$ 6,000 = \$ 20,000

Cost of the updated component  = \frac{\$ 0.75}{unit}

Unchanged purchase price/unit = \frac{\$ 1.2}{unit}

= 1.2 \times 50,000 -(20,000 + 0.75  \times 50,000)\\\\= 60,000 -(20,000 + 37,500)\\\\= 60,000 -(57,500)\\\\= 60,000 -57,500 \\\\ =2,500

Audio cable sales are actually profiting = 4,000

Proposal for audio cable sales profit = 2,500

The average management fee for all mutual funds is:
polet [3.4K]
The best choice is C, 0.50% to 1.25%, because they are only allowed to do roughly about 1% on mutual funds by state requirements and laws in the United States and other major economic groups. This interval is best because A is insanely low on mutual funds and would make the nation impossible to sustain itself, B is a bit too low, and D is absurdly high because 2.50% is a violation.
