1.assume that abc company uses a margin of 40% on all items it purchases for resale, so that the firm sells $ x worth of merchandise. the company also incurred selling expenses which it budgeted at 15% of the volume of sales. the company also budgets fixed expenses at $ 600.a.write the equation relating total cost and sales volumeb.what will total cost and net profit before taxes on sales of $ 80,000c.what is the breakeven level of sales volume

Since circle A and circle B are congruent, then therefore they have similar radius. Let us say that the intersection of segments AB and CD is called point E. The two segments are perpendicular to each other therefore forming a 90 degrees angle at each corner.

To solve this problem, we draw an imaginary line connecting points C and B, thus creating triangle CEB which is a right triangle. We now see that line CB is the hypotenuse of the triangle and at the same time the radius of the circle.

We are given that:

CD = 6 ft               therefore            CE = 3 ft

AB = 8 ft               therefore            EB = 4 ft

Hence using the Pythagorean Theorem:

CB^2 = CE^2 + EB^2

CB^2 = 3^2 + 4^2

CB^2 = 9 + 16

CB^2 = 25

CB = 5 ft
