商业财务第 1214 / 1605 题
A contractor's estimate omitted the 9% sales tax on $20,000 of materials. How much profit will this error erase if he cannot pass it on?
a.$2,000
b.$900
c.$180
d.$1,800
解析
Sales tax = $20,000 x 9% = $1,800. Because the contractor is the consumer and owes this tax, forgetting it means $1,800 comes straight out of profit. Estimators must always include material tax.
