Answer:
$151,800
Step-by-step explanation:
For the publisher, the expected revenue is $26.40 per copy. For 225,000 copies, the revenue is [tex]225000\times26.40 = 5,940,000[/tex]
The expenses incurred by the publisher are as follows:
Cost of 1 print = $3.75
Cost of 225,000 prints = [tex]225000\times3.75 = 843,750[/tex]
Editing/Design = $27,500
Publicity/Advertising/Administrative = $135,150
Author's fee = 6.5% of retail price per copy for 225,000 copies = [tex]225000\times26.40\times6.5/100= 386,100[/tex]
Total cost = 843,750 + 27,500 + 135,150 + 386,100 = $1,392,500
Let the cost of kelp for copies be k.
Then the total cost = 1,392,500 + k
If the expected profit is 4,092,100, then
Revenue = total cost + profit
5,940,000 = 1,392,500 + k + 4,092,100
5,940,000 = 5,484,600 + k
k = 5,940,000 - 5,484,600 = 455,400
Since Carlita is paying [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of k, her share of the kelp =
[tex]\frac{1}{3}\times455400 = 151800[/tex]
Carlita will pay $151,800
