Answer:

$10

Explanation:

Quantity                 Total revenue - total cost        Profit / loss

0                                              0 - 90                               (90)  

1                                           200 - 170                                30

2                                          360 - 200                             160

3                                          480 - 290                             190

4                                          600 - 340                            260

5                                          700 - 400                            300

6                                          810 - 500                             310

7                                           910 - 620                            290

Since the profits are maximized when 6 units are sold, the marginal revenue for the 6th unit = selling price 6th unit - selling price 5th unit = $810 - $700 = $110

The marginal cost for the 6th unit = cost 6th unit - cost 5th unit = $500 - $400 = $100

The difference between marginal revenue and marginal cost for the 6th unit = $110 - $100 = $10

The answer is 10
