Explanation / Answer
orders cost =170*12 =2040$ additional cost for rush =20*(112)=2240$ technical support costs =22*90=1980$ total =2040+2240+1980 =6260$ production costs =80% of sales =40000$ additional costs to be bared by green company due to price hike =3260 $ cost of relation management =1900 so additional revenue =3260-1900 =1360 hence ans = A cheers :)
