Selling price should be $21 per unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of manual = Fixed price + variable cost per package*Number of units sold

= 780000+19.85*1250000 = $25592500

Now we know Learning center wants a profit = $650000

Then profit = sale price - cost price

650000=sale price - 25592500

Sale price = 650000+25592500 = $26242500

This is the sale price of 1250000 units then selling price per unit should be = Total selling price/Number of units sold

= $26242500/1250000 = 20.994 or $21

Selling price should be $21 per unit.
