You have the following data for product X: sales
revenue $14,000, allocated fixed costs $12,000,
variable costs $20,000. You cannot increase the price
of product X or improve the production process to
increase profitability. What should you do about
product X?

Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity. If the shop is making a profit, use the green
rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. If the shop is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to
shade in the area representing its loss.
