Hi 

 

I do agree with the answer.

 

However, allow me to present a  different view. If price is the sole criteria, then yes A is the right option.

 

However, business decisions are never based on one factor. A higher selling price might result in fall in demand for the product and increased inventory. Inventory needs to be managed and there are costs for that. So it may be possible that with high inventory and reduced demand, there may not necessarily be motivation to produce more units.

The decision would be taken after considering the incremental costs and incremental revenue (if any)

My answer is based on reality. Otherwise answer A is fine if price is the sole criterion
