In order to accept the new proposal, new proposal should at least earn the profit under current scenario.

Let 'x' be the desired number of units to sell in new proposal.

Therefore, profit under current scenario and new proposal shall be same.

=> 700units*(60-40)=x units*(60-60*10%-5-40)+8000-11000

=> $14,000=9x-$3,000

=> 9x=$17,000

=> x=1,888.88 units~1,889 units.
