In the Deluxe Register example, what is the approximate profit per unit when selling price is $35 and cost is $21?

• A. $14
• B. $21
• C. $35
• D. $7

Answer: (A)

Profit per unit is found by subtracting the cost per unit from the selling price. So with a selling price of 35 dollars and a cost of 21 dollars, the calculation is 35 minus 21, which equals 14. That means you earn about 14 dollars of profit for each unit sold. The other numbers would represent either the full selling price or the full cost, not the profit per unit, and 7 would correspond to a different cost figure.
