2) ABC company is contemplating adding a new line of product, which will require leasing new equipment for a monthly payment of $12,000. Variable costs would be $15.00 per product, and selling price per product is $40. What would be profit or loss if business sell 600 of these products?

Ans: Revenue = 40 * 600 = 24000

Cost = 12000 + 15 * 600 = 21000

Profit = 24000 - 21000 = $3000

b) If 800 quantity of products can be sold, and a profit target is $10,000, what price should be charged for each product?

Ans: 10000 = 800 * x - 12000 - 15 * 800

'x' is the selling price

x = 34000/800 = $42.5
