Answer:

option (d) 800,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pairs that must be sold be 'x'

Thus,

Total variable cost for x units = $5x

Therefore,

Total cost = Fixed cost + Total variable cost

= $6 million + $5x

Now,

Profit = Cost - Revenue

Thus,

$2 million = $15x - ( $6 million + $5x )

or

$2 million + $6 million = $10x

or

$8 million = $10x

or

$8,000,000 = $10x

or

x = 800,000

Hence,

option (d) 800,000
