Revenue generated by room sales during the remaining days of the month will:_______.a. decrease in proportion to the additional room sales.b. cover the fixed costs associated with those additional room sales.c. be pure profit for the motel.d. increase at a faster rate than the costs associated with those sales.

Respuesta :

Answer:

D) increase at a faster rate than the costs associated with those sales.

Explanation:

If the break even point was reached during the 20th day of the month, then any revenue generated during the remaining 10-11 days will increase net profits. The amount of net profit increase will be determined by the contribution margin of each service provided. The contribution margin = net sales - variable costs. Since the fixed costs have already been covered, the contribution margin will be equal to the net profit.
