Gannett Glass Company manufactures three types of safety plate glass: large, medium, and small. All three products have high demand.

The autoclave is a production bottleneck. Total fixed costs are $550,000. In addition, the following information is available about the three products: Large Medium Small

Assume that Gannett Glass wanted to price all products so that they produced the same profit potential as the highest profit product. Thus, determine the prices for each of the products so that they would produce a profit equal to the highest profit product.
