    Sir, in question 4. I have made a stupid mistake.

    In 4a, I found the variable cost of $18/unit (it is false, the correct one is $21/unit)

    And when I continue to do 4b (which is to calculate the price of profit maximisation and the profit itself), I input the MC / Variable cost of $18 (my wrong answer), so the end results of my profit maximisation price and the profit are wrong as well. However, the formula and the method that I used to find this price and profit are correct.

    Now my question, do I still get full marks for 4b ?? (my end results are wrong, because in 4a, I have already wrong, but the formula and the method are correct)

    You do not lose marks twice for the same mistake.

    If you did everything in part (b) correctly using your answer from part (a) then you get full marks for part (b).
