Question

Assume that Amazon sells the MacBook Pro, a computer brand produced by Apple, for a retail price of $1,410. Amazon arranges its operations such that customers receive products directly from Apple Stores rather than Amazon. Customers purchase from Amazon using credit cards, and Amazon forwards cash to Apple equal to the retail price minus a $141 commission that Amazon keeps. In this arrangement, how much revenue will Amazon recognize for the sale of one MacBook Pro?

Answer 1

Answer:

$141

Explanation:

As amazon is not incurring on any problem or cost of storaging the only cost that they are inccurring would be the fixed cost of having the website online, and they still sell and manage other products, so fixed cost wouldn´t actually increase because of this sell, so the profit of the sell of the macbook pro would be the whole 141 dollars for the sell.
