Answer:
Profit for holiday month is $4,000
Explanation:
Given:
Average sales in a typical month = $1,600
Fixed cost is $800 per month
Sales in festive month is 300% above average typical month sale. So, sales in festive month is $4,800 (1,600 × 300%). Fixed cost remains same irrespective of number of units sold.
Profit = Sales - Fixed cost
= 4,800 - 800
= $4,000
If profit in a typical month is $800 (1,600 - 800), retail store earns profit of $4,000 in a festive month.
