Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The owner thinks that 10,000 pizzas could be sold per month by cutting the selling price per pizza from $ 5.50 a pizza to $ 5.00.

Total revenues - Total costs = Monthly profit 5,000 pizzas 13750 - 8000 =

I will assume that at $5.50 the total sales in units are 5000. And that the variable cost per unit is $2.75 ($13750/5000) and fixed cost are $8000

Actual profit = (5000*5.5 - 5000*2.75) - 8000 = $5750

New price profit = (10000*5 - 10000*2.75) - 8000 = $14500
