Answer:
a. Profits = $20 million
Explanation:
The computation is shown below
Total revenue is
= Number of bikes sold × sale price of a bike
= 9,000 × 18,000
= $162,000,000
Total costs = fixed costs + variable costs
where,
Fixed costs = $25 million or $25,000,000.
And,
The Variable cost for the bikes sold is
= number of bikes sold × variable cost per bike
= 9000 × 13000
= $117,000,000
So, the total costs is
= $25,000,000 + $117,000,000
= $142,000,000
Now
Profit = total revenue - total cost
= $162,000,000 - $142,000,000
= $20,000,000
Hence, the correct option is a.
