Handheld fiber-optic meters with white light polarization interferometry are useful for measuring temperature, pressure, and strain in electrically noisy environments. The fixed costs associated with manufacturing are $800,000 per year. If a base unit sells for $2950 and its variable cost is $2075, (a ) how many units must be sold each year for breakeven? (b) what will the profit be for sales of 3000 units per year?

Please no written by hand solutions One area of concern when it comes to Starlink is the cost. For example, at the beginning of February 2023, FiberOne, a broadband internet provider in Nigeria, was providing internet with speeds of up to 500Mbps, which is fast. The installation fee was N32,231 (about US$70) and the monthly subscription cost around N100,000 (US$220). Starlink in Nigeria, meanwhile, costs about N276,000 (US$599) once- off for the kit and installation, then charges a monthly subscription fee of about [N19,800] (US$43). Starlink is cheaper in the long term than both fibre optic and mobile internet providers. But can an average rural Nigerian household with a monthly income of less than N28,000 (US$60) afford it? Given that average incomes are similarly low in most rural and remote parts of Africa, there's a risk that Starlink's targeted users on the continent won't be able to use the service. The reason that Starlink is able to charge a lower monthly price for their…

A company has determined that the price and the monthly demand of one of its products are related by the equation D = √(400 − p), where p is the price per unit in dollars and D is the monthly demand. The associated fixed costs are $1,125/month, and the variable costs are $100/unit. Use this information to answer, Which of the following values of D represents the breakeven point? (a) 10 units (b) 15 units (c) 20 units (d) 25 units.
