Let x be the selling price of the bag. The revenue that the company will get from the sales of the bag is equal to

revenue = 395000x

The total cost is equal to the sum of the fixed and variable cost which can be expressed as,

184000 + (1.20) (395,000)

The net profit is calculated by subtracting the cost from the revenue. That is,

32,400 = 395000x - (184000 + 474000)

The value of x is equal to $1.748.
