The contribution margin for Sam's Bookstore for the first quarter is?

The contribution margin for Sam's Bookstore for the first quarter is $163,000.

Explanation:

The contribution margin is the sales minus total variable cost. This can be calculated as follows:

Units of books sold = Sales / Selling price per book = $900,000 / $60 = 15,000

Variable selling expenses = Units of books sold * Variable selling expenses per book = 15,000 * $5 = $75,000

Variable administrative expenses = Sales * 3% = $900,000 * 3% = $27,000

Total variable cost = Cost of goods sold + Variable selling expenses + Variable administrative expenses = $635,000 + $75,000 + $27,000 = $737,000

Contribution margin = Sales - Total variable cost = $900,000 - $737,000 = $163,000

Therefore, the contribution margin for Sam's Bookstore for the first quarter is $163,000.

bd = 9 cm

step-by-step explanation:

in a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the ratio of side lengths is 1 : √3 : 2. that is, the longest side (hypotenuse) is twice the length of the shortest side.

all of the triangles in your geometry are 30°-60°-90° triangles. ac is the hypotenuse of δacd, and the short side of δabc.

the short side ad of δacd will be half the length of ac, so 3 cm. the hypotenuse ab of δabc will be twice the length of ac, so 12 cm. segment bd is the difference of the lengths ab and ad, so is

bd = ab -ad

bd = 12 cm - 3 cm = 9 cm

comment on side length ratios

you can figure the ratios of side lengths in a 30°-60°-90° triangle by considering the trig ratios of the angles. or you can figure the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle of side length 2 using the pythagorean theorem.

typically a loft will include modern kitchen and bathrooms, this increases the price tag. lofts also have a good amount of open space, this requires more heating and electricity. lofts are also in older buildings, this means that maintaining the location increases the bill. keep in mind this is without talking about the high state and property taxes.

i hope this you! : )
