Based on the information given In the following problem , compute the gross pay

Answer:

The answer to the question is A.

Explanation:

To start, we differentiate between fixed and variable elements:

Fixed costs:

Advertising costs $20,000

Office costs $12,000

Other expenses $10,000

Variable costs:

Delivery costs $25,000

Commission costs $75,000

Other variable costs $20,000

Total amount $120,000

Next, we find the ratio of variable costs to total sales:

Total selling expense ratio = 120,000/2,500,000 = 0.048

For each of the variable costs:

Delivery costs = 25,000/120,000 = 0.20

Commission costs = 75,000/120,000 = 0.63

Other variable costs = 20,000/120,000 = 0.17

Lastly, for sales amounting to $3,400,000:

Total variable cost = 3,400,000 * 0.048 = $163,200

Commissions = 0.63 * 163,200 = $102,816

The profit amounts to $5.91. Based on the information presented: The number of shares sold is 300, the selling price is $30.19, and a commission fee of 0.5% equates to 0.005. The purchase price is $29.87. Let's calculate it: Total selling price = 300 × $30.19 = $9057. Therefore, proceeds from the sale are: Total selling price - Commission = $9057 - (0.005 × $9057) = $9,011.715. Furthermore, the purchasing cost for the shares is 300 × $29.87 = $8,961. The total expense incurred for purchase, including the commission, is $8,961 + (0.005 × $8,961) = $8,961 + $44.805 = $9,005.805. Consequently, profit is considered to be: Proceeds from sale - Total purchasing cost = $9,011.715 - $9,005.805 = $5.91.
