It should charge $48 for a five-pound package of salmon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the variable cost per package is $30, and the fixed cost is $250,000.

We know the formula: Profit = Total revenue - Total cost.

Profit = 38000

Total revenue = P x Q (P= price, Q = quantity)

Total revenue = 16000P

Total cost = [Fixed cost + (variable cost x quantity)]

Variable cost = 30

Fixed cost = 250000

Putting all values in formula:  (P x Q) - [FC + (VC x Q)]

Solving for P;

=>

=>

Cancelling zeroes and dividing by 16 on both sides, we get;

P = $48

Hence, the company should charge $48 for a five pound package of salmon.
