The manufacturing cost is given as 60,000 dollar.

The profit margin is 30 percent.

To determine the revenue cost use the profit margin ,


Netprofit\text{ margin=}\frac{\operatorname{Re}venue\text{ -cost}}{\text{revenue}}

Substitute the values in the formula,


(30)/(100)=(R-60,000)/(R)^{}
0.3R=R-60,000
60,000=R-0.3R
R=(60,000)/(0.7)=85714.28\text{dollar}

Hence the price at which the good sell is 85714.28 dollar.
