For each question below, assume that for each transaction, merchants are charged a variable rate + a per transaction fee (i.e. X% + $y per transaction)✱
Got it!
In the month of June a merchant sold $100,000 from 5,400 transactions. If the gateway charges $0.30 per transaction, and their total fees were $4,370, what is the merchant's variable rate?✱
Use the variable rate you calculated in the last question. If a merchant sold $106,018.52 and paid $4633.01 in fees, how many transactions did the merchant process?✱
Merchant A and Merchant B only sell 1 SKU each. The product that Merchant A sells is $25 and the product that merchant B sells is $75. Customers can only buy one product per transaction. Merchant A and Merchant B both pay rates of 2.5% + $0.30 and both sold $25,000 work of their products last month. Which merchant has a higher effective rate, and why?
