profit for the day $ 2,001.64

Explanation:

We should subtract from the revenue of the 200 sandwhich prepared and sold the variable cost to made the sandwhihc the loss for the lost sales and the proportional fixed cost considered are allocated among the 25 days which the restaurant is open.

200 x $15 dollars = $ 3,000

28 x $5 loss sales: $ (140)

variable cost: 200 x $4 $ (800)

proportional fixed cost:

(1,234 + 225) / 25 = $ (58.36)

profit for the day $ 2,001.64
