The company normally sells $5,000$ sets of high quality knives each year and, with its current staff and machinery, has the capacity to produce up to $6,000$ sets of knives.

An order has been received for $500$ units, but because its a bulk purchase, the buyer has requested a $40\%$ price discount.
