A company has established that the relationship between the sales price for one of its products and the quantity sold per month is approximately p = 79 – 0.11D units. The fixed cost is $800 per month and the variable cost $32 per unit produced. What number of units, D*,should be produced per month and sold to maximize the profit per month related to the product?

A factory manager is planning for the manufacture of plywood to be sold overseas. The fixed cost of operation is estimated at $800,000 per month while the variable cost is $155 per thousand board feet of plywood. The selling price will depend on how much will be produced and sold and is determined by the relationship, price per thousand board feet, p = $600 – 0.05D, where D is the amount produced and sold in thousands of board feet. Determine the monthly production that will maximize the total profit and corresponsding price. Dettermine also the corresponding maximum profit per month. A) For maximum profit, (to the nearest unit) thousands of board feet per month must be produced and sold at per thousand board feet of plywood.(Round to the nearest cent.) B) The maximum profit per month is equal to $

A local company assembling stereo radio cassette produces 300 units per month at a cost of ₱700 per unit. Each stereo radio cassette sells for ₱1,200. If the firm makes a profit of 10% on its 10,000 shares with a par value of ₱200 per share and the total cost per month is ₱20,000. How many units gives the break-even point and how much is the loss or profit if only 100 units are produced in a given month?

A manufacturer of Chocolate has a fixed cost of Tk.60000 and variable cost is Tk.7 perproduced Chocolate. Selling price is Tk.10 per Chocolate.Requirement- At what number of units will break even occur and At what sales (revenue) volume will break occur?
A company manufactures screwdrivers and has fixed costs of SEK 3,400,000 and variable costs per screwdriver of SEK 6. These costs are not assumed to change with varying production volumes. According to company policy, the sales price is set at double the purchase price.The company's production capacity for screwdrivers is 900,000, but the target for production is for various strategic reasons set at a utilization rate of 70%. Calculate the company's safety margin in SEK, when the utilization rate has been reached and all produced screwdrivers have been sold.

A small company produces organic cookies. When the price is $9.00 per dozen, the average daily sales has been 84 dozen cookies. When the price was decreased to $6.00 per dozen, the average daily sales increased to 110 dozen cookies. Assume that daily cookie sales is linearly related to price per dozen. Each dozen cookies has a variable cost of 70 cents to make, plus additional daily fixed costs of $55.00
A plant has sufficient capacity to manufacture any combination of four different products (A, B, C, D). For each product, time is required to be invested in four different machines, which is expressed in hours per kilogram of product, as shown in the following table as shown in the following table: (attached image) Each machine has an availability of 60 hours per week. Products A, B, C and D can be sold at $9, $7, $6 and $5per kilo, respectively. Variable labor costs are $2 per hour for machines 1 and 2, and $3 per hour for machines 3 and 4. The material costs for each kilogram of product A are $4. The material costs for each kilogram of products B, C, D and D are $4 each kilogram of products B, C and D are $1. What needs to be done:Formulate a profit-maximizing PL model given the maximum demand per product shown in the table (there are 16 variables). Note: Do it by hand, no computer
