This is the concept of business mathematics. The question requires us to calculate the profit margin given the that the cost of production is $20, variable cost is $12 and marginal cost is $18. Also we are told that the price per product is $15.

Profit=Revenue-Cost

Revenue=100*15=$1500

Total cost=20+12+18=$50

Therefore the profit margin will be:

1500-50

=$1450
