Last year, bruceco sold 1000 coffee cups for $10 each. this year, the company is planning on selling 1500 coffee cups. in order to cover the additional investment they will charge $10.50 for the first 500 cups, $10.25 for the second 500 cups and $10 for the last 500. each cup costs $4.70 to produce. what is the average profit if they sell all 1500 cups?

Average profit=$8,325

Explanation:

The Average profit can be expressed as;

Average profit=Total sales-Expenses

where;

Total sales=Number of cups×price per cup

Total sales=(10.5×500)+(10.25×500)+(10×500)

=(5250+5125+5000)

Total sales=$15,375

Expenses=Cost per cup×number of cups=(4.7×1500)

=$7,050

Replacing;

Average profit=Total sales-Expenses

Average profit=(15,375-7,050)=$8,325

Average profit=$8,325
