    Trade credit is a method of financing where suppliers offer goods to a retailer on credit, allowing the retailer to make payment at a later date.

    A store sells a box of candy for $18 after buying it for $14.50.If fixed costs per month is $4,560.50, At least how many boxes must be sold for the store to say it is profitable?

    Explanation
    To determine the minimum number of boxes that must be sold for the store to be profitable, we need to consider the profit made on each box. The profit per box is calculated by subtracting the cost price from the selling price. In this case, the profit per box is $18 - $14.50 = $3.50.

    To cover the fixed costs per month of $4,560.50, the store needs to generate enough profit to cover this amount. Dividing the fixed costs by the profit per box gives us $4,560.50 / $3.50 = 1304.14285714. Since we cannot sell a fraction of a box, the store needs to sell at least 1305 boxes to be profitable.

    Building blocks in the construction industry is an example of which type of cost?

    • Variable

    • Fixed

    • Sunk

    Correct Answer
    A. Variable
    Explanation
    Building blocks in the construction industry can be considered as a variable cost because the quantity of building blocks required can vary depending on the size and complexity of the construction project. As the project size increases, the cost of building blocks will also increase proportionally. Conversely, if the project size decreases, the cost of building blocks will decrease as well. Therefore, the cost of building blocks is directly related to the level of activity or output in the construction industry, making it a variable cost.
