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?
