You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let the companymakes x units/year of its product
each unit sells for R8.50
so the selling price=8.5x
Its fixed costs are R15 000.00 per year
it costs R3.00 to make one unit
so the production cost=3x
the company make a profit of R29 000.00 per year.
so the profit is
8.5x-3x-15000=29000
or 5.5x=29000-15000=14000
or x=14000/5.5=2545.45=2546 approxunits
so the company makes 2546 units/year of its product
