Given we have number of units to be sold and sale price.
We can compute the total revenue for the company by multiplying the units and sale price.
| units sold | price per unit | Total Revenue |
|---|---|---|
| (a) | (b) | (c ) = (a) * (b) |
| 80,000 | $35 | $2,800,000 |
| 90,000 | $33 | $2,970,000 |
| 100,000 | $31 | $3,100,000 |
| 110,000 | $30 | $3,300,000 |
| 120,000 | $28 | $3,360,000 |
We can see that the maximum revenue can be achieved by selling 120,000 units at $28 each.
We can also compute maximum profit
Table showing computation of profit
| units sold | price per unit | Total Revenue | Variable Cost | Fixed Cost | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (a) | (b) | (c ) = (a) * (b) | (d) = (a) * $10 | (e ) | (f) = (c ) - (d) - (e ) |
| 80,000 | $35 | $2,800,000 | $8,00,000 | $700,000 | $1,300,000 |
| 90,000 | $33 | $2,970,000 | $9,00,000 | $700,000 | $1.370,000 |
