For the coming year, the estimated quantity produced of B is 60% higher than that of P. The firm makes a markup of 170% on both products. The ratio between the profits per unit between P and B is 2. The cost price for P is $260. If the profit target is $115 362 over the next year, how much of each of the two qualities must be produced and what are the two selling prices?
