The Audubon Society at Enormous State University (ESU) is planning its annual fund-raising "Eat-a-thon." The society will charge students 55¢ per serving of pasta. The only expenses the society will incur are the cost of the pasta, estimated at 17¢ per serving, and the $380 cost of renting the facility for the evening. (a) Write down the associated cost function C(x) in dollars. C(x) = Write down the revenue function R(x) in dollars. R(x) = Write down the profit function P(x) in dollars. P(x) = (b) How many servings of pasta must the Audubon Society sell to break even? servings (c) What profit (or loss) results from the sale of 1,500 servings of pasta? $

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. Assume that the cost function is linear. Use the financial department’s estimates to express the cost function interms of ?. Determinethe Marginal cost and interpret the results.

Lamburgs Incorporated is attempting to predict the impact of a forthcoming environmental regulation on the variable costs associated with one of their merchandise. The legislature is still debating the regulation. There is a 50% chance that the rules will not be ready in time to impact variable costs next year. Lamburgs management anticipates that when the regulation is completed, it will increase variable costs by either 5% or 10%. At the moment, the variable cost of the product is $200 per unit. What is the expected variable cost for Lamburgs' key product next year based on these assumptions?
