A & B - TRUE, C - FALSE
Explanation:
A. expensive books to produce will have highest number of units sold and high production cost/unit, it can be easily inferred from the table when we look at the 2 columns in the table: Production cost/unit and units sold, but here is the calculation for the same.
For hardcovers: (4.44*3280) + (5.44*8739) + (3.12*7947) = 86896 (also obvious by just looking at the values in the table)
For soft covers: (2.92*5368) + (3.32*3712) + (7862*2.20) = 45294.8
For ebooks : 0.99*(9111+3471+4135) = approx 16717
So A is true.
For B : The format with the highest profit per unit also has the highest number of units sold. -
Again can be easily inferred from the table: row 2 & 3 hard covers, have the highest number of units sold and the highest profit/unit.
B is true.
For C: The book with the highest hardcover total profits also has the highest softcover and eBook total profits.
The book with the highest hardcover total profits is: The great Gatsby, which when we look at the table doesn't have the highest total profit in soft cover and ebooks.
so C is false.
