With these types of question, it is helpful to think clearly about all the suggested answers. Do you think that d or e could be true? (I agree that a and c are not correct).

I was also stuck on this ques if you could help :smile:

A company producing tea can make 1kg for an average variable cost of £1.20. It must pay fixed costs per month of £2,000 and the company sells 2,500kg of tea per month. If the firm decides to add a mark-up of 20% what price should it charge per 1kg of tea?a) £3.50b) £5.50c) £4.20d) £8.80e) £2.40


I think it's E. could be wrong.
