Because of the general economic climate, Acutron expects trade volume to decline by 20%. Fortunately, the average commission per trade is likely to increase by 10% because trades are expected to be large in the coming year. What are the estimated commission's revenues for Acutron in the coming year

Answer 1

Estimated commission revenues is$$50,688,000.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The estimated commission revenue for Acutron in the coming year reflects last year's volume of trade less 20% decline multiplied by the average commission for last year adjusted for 10% increase

volume of trade=240,000*(1-20%)

=240,000*0.80

= 192,000 trades

average commission per trade=$240*(1+10%)

=$240*1.1

=$264

Estimated commission revenue=quantity*price

=192,000*$264

=$50,688,000.00
