B

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

Part 39· 2 steps

  1. Calculate the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS).

    The Cost of Goods Sold is 80% of the sales.

    COGS=0.80×Sales\text{COGS} = 0.80 \times \text{Sales} COGS=0.80×100,000 FCFA\text{COGS} = 0.80 \times 100,000 \text{ FCFA} COGS=80,000 FCFA\text{COGS} = 80,000 \text{ FCFA}
  2. Calculate the amount of profit.

    Profit is calculated as Sales minus Cost of Goods Sold.

    Profit=Sales−COGS\text{Profit} = \text{Sales} - \text{COGS} Profit=100,000 FCFA−80,000 FCFA\text{Profit} = 100,000 \text{ FCFA} - 80,000 \text{ FCFA} Profit=20,000 FCFA\text{Profit} = 20,000 \text{ FCFA}

    The correct option is B.
    The amount of profit is B. 20,000 FCFA\boxed{\text{B. 20,000 FCFA}}.

Part 40· 1 step

  1. Determine the margin rate.

    The margin rate (or gross profit margin) is calculated as Profit divided by Sales, expressed as a percentage.

    Margin Rate=ProfitSales×100%\text{Margin Rate} = \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Sales}} \times 100\%

    Using the profit from Question 39:

    Margin Rate=20,000 FCFA100,000 FCFA×100%\text{Margin Rate} = \frac{20,000 \text{ FCFA}}{100,000 \text{ FCFA}} \times 100\% Margin Rate=0.20×100%\text{Margin Rate} = 0.20 \times 100\% Margin Rate=20%\text{Margin Rate} = 20\%

    The correct option is B.
    The margin rate is B. 20%\boxed{\text{B. 20\%}}.
