What is the firm's annual profit or loss?
Variable Cost = Variable Cost per unit * number of units = $0.32 x (1,359,240 x 81%) = $0.32 x 1,100,984.40 = $352,315.01 Costs = Fixed Cost + Variable Costs = $214,191 + $352,315.01 = $566,506.01 Profit = Revenue - Costs = $1,396,130 - $566,506.01 = $829,623.99 |
