    Hi Sir,
    I was taking this revision mock F5 exam and was not able to get answer for this. Can you please help me how to do this?
    At a selling price of $200, the demand will be 100,000 units per annum. The demand will change by 10,000 units for every $30 change in the selling price. The fixed cost are $60,000 per annum, and the variable costs $8 per unit.
    At what selling price per unit will the profit be maximised?

    P=a-bQ
    b=change in price/change in demand therefore $30/10000 units
    $200=a-$30/10000×100000 units
    a=$500
    P=500-0.003Q
    a=price when Q=0
    MR=a-2bQ
    $8(variable cost per unit)=$500-(0.003)x2Q
    $500-$8/0.006=Q=82000 units
    P=a-bQ
    P=$500-0.003×82000 units
    P=$500-246=$254
