b. The additional profit generated if a staff is added for the increased sale is:

Explanation:

a) Data and Analysis:

Number of sales clerk required for each $12,000 in daily sales = 1

Average sales increase = $96,000

Number of sales clerk required for the $96,000 sales increase = 8 ($96,000/$12,000)

Number of shopping days from Black Friday to Christmas Eve = 27

Sales clerk works a shift per day = 8 hours

Wages per hour = $14

Total hours to be worked by the additional sales clerk = 8 * 27 * 8 = 1,728

Total wages = 1,728 * $14 = $24,192

Average gross profit on sales = 40%

Total gross profit on sales = $24,192 * 40% = $9,676.80

Additional gross profit generated by adding a staff = $1,209.60 ($9,676.80/8)
