Assume that the linear cost and revenue models apply. An item costs $6 to make. If fixed costs are $2400 and profits are $2100 when 100 items are made and sold, find the revenue equation. (Let x be the number of items.) R(x) =
Given Cost and Price (demand) functions C(q) = 110q + 45000 and p(q) = - 2.8q + 800, what profit can be earned if the price is set to be $550 per item? U The profit is $ 1,?9 (Round to the nearest cent.) A company produces a special new type of TV. The company has fixed costs of $499,000, and it costs STT00 to produce each TV. The company projects that if it charges a price of $2300 for the TV, it will be able to sell 850 TVs. If the company wants to sell 900 TVs, however, it must lower the price to $2000. Assumo a linear demand. What is the marginal profit if 200 TVs are produced It is $ 0 per item. (Round answer to nearest dollar.)
1. It costs $25,000 to build 30 refrigerators. It costs $30,000 to build 40 refrigerators. Assuming that the cost function is linear, find the cost function C(x) where x is the number of refrigerators built. If each refrigerator sells for $1500, find the revenue function, profit function, and break-even point.
