Answer:

Check the following calculations

Step-by-step explanation:

With an increase of 9% the sales would have been = 950,000*1.09 = 1,035,500

Net profit would have been = 0.04 *1035500 = $41,420

Without increase , the profit would be 38,000

So the decrease in purchasing expenses should be 41420 -38000 = 3,420

Orginal Purchase cost = 617,500

So % decrease = 3420/617500 = 0.005538 =0.5538 = 0.55%
