Basic Math

You have designed a new style of sports bicycle!

Now you want to make lots of them and sell them for profit.

Your costs are going to be:

  • $700,000 for manufacturing set-up costs, advertising, etc
  • $110 to make each bike

Based on similar bikes, you can expect sales tofollow this "Demand Curve":

  • Unit Sales = 70,000 ? 200P

Where "P" is the price.

For example, if you set the price:

  • at $0, you just give away 70,000 bikes
  • at $350, you won't sell any bikes at all
  • at $300 you might sell 70,000 ? 200×300 =10,000 bikes

So ... what is the best price? Do NOT enter theDOLLAR sign.
