Answer:

True

Explanation:

Profit function would be maximised.

Profit = Revenue - Cost

Let units of both goods be = A ,B

Revenue per unit good A = 100

Revenue per unit good B = 90

Variable Cost per unit good A = 30

Variable Cost per unit good B = 25

Profit Function = (100 - 30)A + (90 - 35)B

= 60A + 65B

{The function is right without including 'average fixed cost' part of 'total cost' in the function because : average fixed cost is a constant & constant figure doesn't effect optimisation (via differentiation , ∵ d (c) = 0)
