The Menswear Department of Major's Department Store had sales of $198,000, cost of goods sold of $137,500, indirect expenses of $14,250, and direct expenses of $28,500 for the current period. The Menswear Department's contribution to overhead as a percent of sales is:

the contribution to overhead as a percent of sales is 16.16%

Explanation:

The computation of the  contribution to overhead as a percent of sales is given below;

Sales $198,000

Less: Cost of goods sold $137,500

Less: Direct Expenses$28,500

Contribution $32,000

Now the percentage should be  

= $32,000 ÷ $198,000

= 16.16%

Hence, the contribution to overhead as a percent of sales is 16.16%

the answer would be voluntary exchange -

"the act of buyers and sellers freely and willingly engaging in market transactions. moreover, transactions are made in such a way that both the buyer and the seller are better off after the exchange than before it occurred."

hope this : )

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
