Show the working in detail step by step.

Explanation / Answer

A) QUANTITY = 1000

COST = 259

INSTALLATION = 50

TOTAL VAR COST = 309

FIXED COST = 54000

TOTAL COST = 309*1000+54000

=363000

PROFIT = 30%*363000 = 108900

SALES REVENUE = 471900

SALES PRICE = 472


b) QUANTITY = 5000

COST = 259

INSTALLATION = 50

TOTAL VAR COST = 309

FIXED COST = 54000

TOTAL COST = 309*500+54000

=208500

PROFIT = 30%*208500 = 62550

SALES REVENUE =271050

SALES PRICE = 542
