Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost function is expressed in dollars as
C(x) = 14980 + 20x
The revenue function is expressed in dollars as
R(x) = 30x
a) At the point of break even, the total cost equals the total revenue. There is neither profit nor loss. Therefore, the the number of units that must be produced and sold to break even would be
14980 + 20x = 30x
30x - 20x = 14980
10x = 14980
x = 1498
1498 mist be produced and sold to break even.
At this level, the dollar amount coming in and going out is
30 × 1498 = $44940
b) Profit = Revenue - cost
P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
P(x) = 30x - (14980 + 20x)
P(x) = 30x - 14980 - 20x
P(x) = 10x - 14980
