Assume that the unit price is Rs. 150 and profit is defined as the excess of sales revenue over total costs. What is the monthly production level of ABC Ltd. at which the profit is highest?

A. 30

B. 50

C. 60

D. 40

Correct Answer :

A. 30

We know that Profit = Price × quantity (Q) T.C = 150Q T.C
Now we will check each of the options and find out which one is giving us maximum value.
From Option (A) Q = 30, T.C = 800 + 2500 = 3300. So Profit = 1200
From Option (B) Q = 50, T.C = 2000 + 5000 = 7000. Profit = 7500 7000 = 500
From Option (C) Q = 60, Sales = 150 × 60 = 9000, TC = 2000 + 6500 = 8500. Profit = 500
From Option (D) Q = 40 Sales = 150 × 40 = 6000 TC = 2000 + 3500 = 5500 Profit = 500.
We can make out that Option (a) gives us the maximum profit
