Which of the following, if true, contributes most to explaining why America Mart's profits were more in 1998 than in 1999?
A. There was a two percent increase in sales tax in 1999 that consumers had to pay on all retail purchases. -
Incorrect. The increase in costs of the consumers has no bearing on why the profits of the company decreased.
B. A greater number of promotions for their internet site were made available to previous customers than to people who had never shopped at America Mart before.
- Incorrect. How was the cost affected is not mentioned.
C. In 1999, America Mart's wholesale purchase costs increased by a smaller amount than the selling price of goods on their internet site.
- Incorrect. Only the cost and selling price aspect of the website is mentioned, but what about retail stores? This option is a distortion.
D. Customers who had never previously purchased products from America Mart purchased, on average, fewer products in 1999 than previous customers did.
- Incorrect. Out of scope.
E. The increase in costs due to setting up the web site in 1999 was greater than the increase in revenue from sales in 1999.
- Correct. Change in profit = change in revenue minus change in costs. Here, increase in costs> Increase in revenue, hence profit decrease.
