You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's break down this problem step by step:
**A. What is the regular selling price of the TV set?**
* Let SP be the selling price.
* Mark-up = 40% of SP = 0.40 * SP
* Mark-up = PHP 3450
So, 0.40 * SP = 3450
SP = 3450 / 0.40
SP = PHP 8625
**B. What was the cost of the TV set?**
* Cost (C) + Mark-up = Selling Price (SP)
* C + 3450 = 8625
* C = 8625 - 3450
* C = PHP 5175
**C. What is the rate of markup based on cost for the TV set?**
* Rate of markup based on cost = (Mark-up / Cost) * 100%
* Rate of markup based on cost = (3450 / 5175) * 100%
* Rate of markup based on cost ≈ 0.66666 * 100%
* Rate of markup based on cost ≈ 66.67%
**D. If overhead expenses are 27% of the cost, what is the break-even price of the TV set?**
* Overhead expenses = 27% of Cost = 0.27 * 5175
* Overhead expenses = PHP 1397.25
* Break-even price = Cost + Overhead expenses
* Break-even price = 5175 + 1397.25
* Break-even price = PHP 6572.25
**E. If the TV set is sold at PHP 7500, how much profit or loss is incurred by the appliance store?**
* Selling price (new) = PHP 7500
* Cost = PHP 5175
* Profit/Loss = Selling price (new) - Cost
* Profit/Loss = 7500 - 5175
* Profit/Loss = PHP 2325
Since the result is positive, it's a profit.
**Summary of Answers:**
A. Regular selling price: PHP 8625
B. Cost of the TV set: PHP 5175
C. Rate of markup based on cost: 66.67%
