Jacey Wood · Answer 1

d) Profit center

Explanation:

A profit center is a separate unit of a firm which incurs costs and generates revenue for the company. It is the division of the company that is in charge of earning money and creating sales. It is therefore a separate segment of the company which use of its resources to bring revenue for the company, and profits and losses of the division are estimated separately from other segments.

The importance of the profit center is that it makes it easy to identify the division within a company that least profitable and most profitable.

Therefore, the sales department of Mega Inc. which sells the various models of blankets it produces is a profit center.

I wish all the best.
