1. A small company manufactures a certain product. Variable costs are $20 per unit and fixed costs are $10,875. The price-demand relationship for this product is P= -0.25D + 250, where P is the unit sales price of the product and D is the annual demand. • Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost • Revenue = Demand * Price • Profit = Revenue – Total cost 1.1. Develop the equations for total cost and total revenue. 1.2. Find the breakeven quantity.

Which costs are measured on per-unit basis: fixed costs, average cost, avenge variable cost, variable costs, and marginal cost?
FG Manufacturers wants to determine the effectiveness of their pricing decisions for their product Lylo. As a consultant, you have been asked to develop cost functions that will assist in arriving at the optimal price that will enable the company to maximize profits. During the year, you were provided with the following demand and costs functions for the product: P = 400 – 6Q; where P is the unit selling price and Q is quantity in thousands of units. TC = 8Q2 + 36Q + 150; where TC is total cost in thousands of dollars. Determine the optimal sales revenue. Calculate the maximum profit. Briefly outline two (2) factors to be considered by managementswhen pricing decisions are being made.
Please answer with details on how to do it. A small company manufactures a certain product. Variable costs are $20 per unit and fixed costs are $10,875. The price demand relationship for this product is P = -0.25D + 250, where P is the unit sales price of the product and D is the annual demand. Total cost = fixed cost + Variable cost, TC = CF + CV Revenue = Demand x Price, TR = D x P Profit = Total Revenue – Total Cost, P = TR – TC a) Develop the equations for the total cost and total revenue. Find the breakeven quantity c) How many units must be sold to maximize profit? What is the company’s maximum profit?

E1 Agroscience Company, Cypress, TX manufactures a certain product with estimated variable costs, per unit, V =0.10Q – 40 and aggregated fixed costs of $40,000. The price-quantity demand relationship for this product is P = −0.5Q + 900, where P is the unit sales price of the product and Q is the annual quantity demand. ● Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost ● Revenue = Quantity Demand × Price ●Profit = Revenue − Total cost a) Develop the equations for total cost and total revenue. b) Find the breakeven quantity. c) What profit is earned if i) total cost is minimized and ii) total revenue is maximized? d) Which of the strategy will be better for the company to adopt to optimize their profit, is it to minimize total cost or maximize total revenue? Give reason for your choice. e) What is the company’s maximum possible profit?
Round off your final answer to whole #. A company produces and sells a consumer product and is able to control the demand by varying the selling price. The approximate relationship between price and demand is p=45 + 2700/D - 5000/D2 for D > 1 The company is seeking to maximize its profit. The fixed cost is $1,000 and the variable cost is $38 per unit. What is the number of units that should be produced and sold each month to maximize profit?
A company estimated that the relationship between the unit price and demand per month for a potential new product is approximated by P = $ 100 – $ 0.1D. The company can produce the product by increasing fixed costs $ 17,500 per month, and the estimated variable costs is $ 40 per unit. What is the optimal demand, D*, and based on this demand, should the company produce new product? Why? a) Work out the complete solution by differential calculus, starting with formula for profit or loss per month b) Solve graphically for an approximate answer
A local company is planning to manufacture and market a four-slice toaster. For this toaster, the research department’s estimates are aweekly demand of 300 toasters at a price of $25 per toaster and a weekly demand of 400 toasters at a price of $20. The financial department’s estimates are fixed weekly costs of$5,000 and variable costs of $5 per toaster. a) Assume that the relationship between price ? and demand ? is linear. Use the research department’s estimates to express ? as a function of ? and determine the domain of the function. b) Using your knowledge from Finite Math, determine the Revenue function in terms of ?. c) Determine the Marginal Revenue at 2 different production levels for example 250 and 500 units. Interpret these results. (HINT: Consider what a positive or negative first derivative implies) d) Assume that the cost function is linear. Use the financial department’s estimates to express the cost function interms of ?. e) Determinethe Marginal costand interpret the…
(a) How would one estimate the full cost to an airline if one of its planes is held over for 24 hours in an airport for repair? (b) A company has spent $10 million to develop a product for market. During the product’s first two years, the company’s profit was $6 million. In recent years, the market was flooded by rival products and now the company is reassessing its product. If it abandons the product, it can recover $2 million of its original investment by selling its production facility. If it continues to produce the product, its estimated revenues for successive two-year periods will be $5 million and $3 million and its costs will be $4 million and $2.5 million. (After four years the plant will have zero resale value.) What would be the company’s best course of action?

Seastrand Oil Company produces two grades of gasoline: regular and high octane. Both gasolines are produced by blending two types of crude oil. Although both types of crude oil contain the two important ingredients required to produce both gasolines, the percentage of important ingredients in each type of crude oil differs, as does the cost per gallon. The percentage of ingredients A and B in each type of crude oil and the cost per gallon are shown. Crude Oil Cost Ingredient A Ingredient B 1 $0.10 20% 60% 2 $0.15 50% 30% Each gallon of regular gasoline must contain at least 40% of ingredient A, whereas each gallon of high octane can contain at most 50% of ingredient B. Daily demand for regular and high-octane gasoline is 800,000 and 600,000 gallons, respectively. How many gallons of each type of crude oil should be used in the two gasolines to satisfy daily demand at a minimum cost? Round your answers to the nearest whole number. Round the answers for cost to the nearest…
