calculate the revenue when;
You have 52 customers who buy your newly designed trainers – half of the customers buy the standard pairs for $24.99, but half choose to customize them, and pay $32.99 per pair.
$649.74 + $857.74 = $1,507.48
Calculate the revenue when :
You sell 34 printed tHshirts, which normally sell for £7, but the first 12 customers received a discount of 30%.
(12x4.90) + (22x7) = 58.80 + 154 = $212.80
Calculate the total costs when:
You rent a market stall, which costs you $50 for the day. You are selling candles, each candle cost you $2.2 to make. You have printed some banners and posters for promotion which cost you $14.7. At the end of the day, you have made 55 candles but sold 50.
TC = TFC + TVS
= 64.7 + 121
= $185.7
You made cupcakes. Each cupcake costs you $0.25 in ingredients and $0.15 for the clear packaging and ribbon. You sell each cupcake for $1.00. How much profit do you make if you sell 44 cupcakes?
((1.00 – (0.25+0.15)) x 44 = $26.40
You make and sell cases for iPads. You make cases for the Pad air and the iPad mini. It costs you $2.20 to make the case for the air and $2.00 to make the case for the mini. You also had to buy some equipment, which cost you $77. The website you sell them through charges you commission of 10% on all sales. In September you sold 56 iPad air cases for $12 each and 67 iPad mini cases for $10 each. How much profit did you make?
Revenue = (56 x 12) + (67 x 10) = 1,342
Costs = (56 x 2.20) + (67 x 2.00) + 77 + (1,342 x 0.10) = 123.20 + 134 + 77 + 134.20 = 468.40
Profit = 1,342 – 468.40 = $873.60
