Given that the relationship between the sales price for one of a company’s products and the quantity sold per month is D = 500 – 5p units where D is the demand or quantity sold per month and p is the unit price in dollars. The fixed cost is $1,000 per month, and the variable cost is $20 per unit produced. (a) Determine the optimal number of units that should be produced and sold per month. (b) What is the maximum profit per month related to the product? (c) What is the company’s range of profitable demand? Support your answers graphically

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 $
Kal Tech Engineering Inc manufactures video games. Variable costs are estimated to be $20 per unit and fixed costs are $10,875. The demand-price relationship for this product is Q = 1,000 - 4P where "P” is the unit sales price of the game and “Q” is the demand in number of units.

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?
Two new rides are being compared by a local amusement park in terms of their annual operating costs. The two rides would generate the same level of revenue (thus the focus on costs). The Tummy Tugger has fixed costs of $10,000 per year and variable costs of $2.50 per visitor. The Head Buzzer has fixed costs of $4000 per year and variable costs of $4 per visitor. (a) Mathematically find the number of visitors per year for the two rides to have equal annual costs. (b) Develop a breakeven graph to show: • Accurate total cost lines for the two alternatives (show line, slopes, and equations). • The breakeven point for the two rides in terms of number of visitors. • The ranges of visitors per year where each alternative is preferred.
How many books will a publisher have to sell to breakeven if fixed costs are $100,000, the selling price perbook is $60, and the variable costs per book are $40?
A manufacturer sells belts for $11 per unit. The fixed costs are $1800 per month, and the variable cost per unit is $8.
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 range of profitable production. For profitable production, production must be at least thousands of board feet per month, but not more than (Round to the nearest unit.)
The fixed cost for a steam line per meter of pipe is $450X + $50 per year. Thecost for loss of heat from the pipe per meter is $4.8/X1/2 per year. Here, Xrepresents the thickness of insulation in meters, and X is a continuous designvariable. Solve, a. What is the optimum thickness of the insulation? b. How do you know that your answer in Part (a) minimizes total cost per year? c. What is the basic trade-off being made in this problem?
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?
When the variable cost is reduced for linear total cost and revenue lines, the breakeven point decreases. This is an economic advantage because:a. the revenue per unit will increase.b. the two lines will now cross at zero. c. the profit will increase for the same revenue per unit.d. the total cost line becomes nonlinear.
A particular product has a unit price that starts at $78 with a $0.1 discount for each unit purchased. If the fixed cost is $800/month and the variable cost per unit is $30/unit, determine the demand quantity that maximizes the savings of making and the breakeven quantities.
