Answer:

500 units of sweatshirt and zero unit of shirt need to be sold to maximize sales.

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the total revenue of each type.

From the attached excel file, we have:

  1. Highest units of sweatshirt that can be sold = 500
  2. Highest units of shirt that can be sold = 500
  3. The highest total revenue is $15,000 (in bod red color) and this occurred when 500 units of sweatshirt is sold and zero units of shirt is sold.

Therefore, 500 units of sweatshirt and zero units of shirt need to be sold to maximize sales.
