Cevap

The value of dd is 60.
The correct response accurately determines that the distributor needs 5,600fromtheremaining20monitorstoachieveanoverall33percentprofitonthe5,600 from the remaining 20 monitors to achieve an overall 33 percent profit on the 20,000 investment. This requires selling each remaining monitor for 280,whichreflectsa280, which reflects a 420 price reduction from the 700listprice.Expressedasapercentageofthe700 list price. Expressed as a percentage of the 700 list price, a $420 reduction is equal to 60 percent.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the unit cost price and original list price per monitor
Unit cost = $20,00050=$400\frac{\$20,000}{50} = \$400. List price = $400×(1+0.75)=$700\$400 \times (1 + 0.75) = \$700.
Establishing individual unit costs and list prices is necessary to determine total revenues.
2
Determine total revenue required for an overall net profit of 33 percent
Total Target Revenue = $20,000×(1+0.33)=$26,600\$20,000 \times (1 + 0.33) = \$26,600.
An overall 33 percent profit means total revenue must equal 133 percent of the total shipment cost.
3
Calculate revenue from the first 30 monitors and the remaining required revenue
Revenue from 30 units = 30×$700=$21,00030 \times \$700 = \$21,000. Remaining revenue needed from 20 units = $26,600−$21,000=$5,600\$26,600 - \$21,000 = \$5,600.
Subtracting the revenue generated by full-price sales isolates the revenue needed from the discounted items.
4
Determine the selling price per discounted monitor and calculate the discount percentage dd
Discounted selling price = $5,60020=$280\frac{\$5,600}{20} = \$280. Discount amount = $700−$280=$420\$700 - \$280 = \$420. Discount percentage d=($420$700)×100=60d = \left(\frac{\$420}{\$700}\right) \times 100 = 60.
The discount percentage is the ratio of the dollar discount to the original list price.
