In order to get the profit, we must compute first the fixed cost
Fixed cost = storage cost + overhead cost
storage cost = total phones x storage fee
                       = (214+176+251) x$21.49
                       =$13775.09
fixed cost =$13775.09+$14350
                 = $28125.09
Next we compute the net sales
net sales = total sales - commision
total sales = 641 x$68.75 =$44068.75
commision= (214x$10.25)+(176x$8.9)+(251x$9.65)
                   =6182.05
net sales = $44068.75-6182.05 =$37886.7
profit = net sales- fixed cost
profit = $37886.7-$28125.09
profit = $9761.61 
The profit for Lasht cellular is $9761.61
