Let's say it costs $100 to build a specific computer. If you sell the 
computer for $110 you will net $10 and sell 1000 of them. Your net 
profit is $10,000. If you sell it for $200 you will net $100 profit per 
machine and sell 200 of them. Your net profit is $20,000. Which business 
do you want to operate?
