Answer 1

Answer:

$15,960

Explanation:

The total profit on units sold for the consignor:

= Sales Value - Cost of Goods Sold - Shipping Expenses - Commission - Advertising Expenses - Installation and setup costs

= (40 × $720) - (40 × $220) - [$1,850 × (40/50)] - ($28,800 × 5%) - $470 - $650

= $28,800 - $8,800 - $1,480 - $1,440 - $470 - $650

= $15,960
