Question: 1 / 400

What is the total profit made by an electrician who buys 100 units of armored cable connectors at $2.10 each and sells them at $3.00, with a 30% overhead?

$20.00

$27.00

To determine the total profit made by the electrician, we first need to calculate the total cost of the connectors, the selling price, and then account for the overhead.

1. **Calculate the total cost of the connectors**: The electrician buys 100 units at $2.10 each, which gives:

\[

\text{Total Cost} = 100 \times 2.10 = 210.00

\]

2. **Calculate the total sales revenue**: The electrician sells each unit for $3.00, resulting in:

\[

\text{Total Revenue} = 100 \times 3.00 = 300.00

\]

3. **Calculate the overhead costs**: The overhead is 30% of the total cost, thus:

\[

\text{Overhead} = 0.30 \times 210.00 = 63.00

\]

4. **Determine the total effective cost**: To find the total cost that includes overhead, we add the overhead to the original total cost:

\[

\text{Total Effective Cost} = \text{Total Cost} + \text{Overhead} = 210
