Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
sales volume of Q = 23,400
If sales volume of Q doubles that of p which is \(\frac{1}{3}\) of R we have;
for P = 23,400 ÷ 2p
p = \(\frac{23,400}{2}\) = 11,700
Since RÂ is \(\frac{1}{3}\) of P, hence we have,
R= 1/3P
R = 3 x P
R =Â \(\frac{3}\times{11700}\)Â = 35,100
