Since the increase does not happen proportionally, we cannot predict or extrapolate. So the only way to figure out is to look back (so to speak).
Stmt 2 Says that Profit exceeded 5Million at 350K units => it will definetely be greater than 5Million for 380K units. Hence > 4Million for 350K units.
What is the OA?
