Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Based on the cost of assembly and the selling price of benches, it is only profitable to assemble the small and medium benches before selling them to retailers. The assembly cost for the small bench is $12, and the profit margin is $16, while the medium bench's assembly cost is $18, and the profit margin is $22. In contrast, the assembly cost for the large bench is $24, and the profit margin is $28, which means it is more profitable not to assemble the large bench before selling it to retailers.
