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?

On March 17, 2013, the Wildcat Oil Company began operations at its Louisiana oil field. Theoil field had been acquired several years earlier ata cost of $32.5 million. The field is estimated tocontain 6.5 million barrels of oil and to have a salvage value of $3 million both before and after all ofthe oil is pumped out. Equipment costing $480,000was purchased for use at the oil field. The equipment will have no economic usefulness once theLouisiana field is depleted; therefore, it is depreciated on a units-of-production method. In addition,Wildcat Oil built a pipeline at a cost of $2,880,000to serve the Louisiana field. Although this pipelineis physically capable of being used for many years,its economic usefulness is limited to the productivelife of the Louisiana field; therefore, the pipelinehas no salvage value. Depreciation of the pipelineis based on the estimated number of barrels of oil tobe produced. Production at the Louisiana oil fieldamounted to 420,000 barrels in 2015 and…
