    Mean of total cost = $350,000

    Standard deviation of total cost = $16,000

    Selling price of the bottle on average should be $14

    The selling price of the bottle on average should be $14.8

    Explanation:

    Mean of total cost = ((Mean of bottle * Variable cost per unit) + Fixed cost

    Mean of total cost = 25,000 * $8 per unit + $150,000

    = $200,000 + $150,000

    = $350,000

    Standard deviation of total cost = Standard deviation * Variable cost per unit

    = 2,000 * $8

    = $16,000

    b-1 The break even Total revenue - Total cost = 0

    So, we have given equation

    25,000 * P - $350,000 = 0

    25,000P = $350,000

    P = $350,000 : 25,000

    = $14

    b-2 For making profit of $20,000, the equation

    Total revenue - Total cost = $20,000

    25,000 * P - $350,000 = 20,000

    25,000P = 20,000 + $350,000

    25,000P = $370,000

    P = $370,000 : 25,000

    = $14.8

    The selling price of the bottle on average should be $14.8
