If revenue = $100, fixed costs = $20, labor costs = $40, and other variable costs = $5, then profit =________

1 answer

To calculate profit, we can use the formula:

\[ \text{Profit} = \text{Revenue} - \text{Total Costs} \]

Where Total Costs is the sum of fixed costs and variable costs (labor costs + other variable costs).

Given:

  • Revenue = $100
  • Fixed costs = $20
  • Labor costs = $40
  • Other variable costs = $5

First, we calculate the total variable costs:

\[ \text{Total Variable Costs} = \text{Labor Costs} + \text{Other Variable Costs} = 40 + 5 = 45 \]

Next, we calculate the Total Costs:

\[ \text{Total Costs} = \text{Fixed Costs} + \text{Total Variable Costs} = 20 + 45 = 65 \]

Now we can find the Profit:

\[ \text{Profit} = \text{Revenue} - \text{Total Costs} = 100 - 65 = 35 \]

Therefore, the profit is $35.
