Answer:
(a) C(x) = 9500 + 55x
(b) R(x) = 90x
(c) P(x) = 35x - 9500
(d) C(240) = $22,700
All functions are measured in $.
Explanation:
The total revenue of an entity is a function of the number of units sold and the selling price per unit. The total cost is a function of the fixed cost and the variable cost (which is also a function of the units produced/sold). Profit is a function of sales and cost.
Given that monthly;
fixed costs = $9500
variable costs = $55 per unit
Selling price = $90 per unit
Where x is the number of units
total costs C(x) in $ = 9500 + 55x
total revenue R(x) in $ = 90x
profit P(x) in $ = 90x - (9500 + 55x)
= 35x - 9500
C(240) = 9500 + 55(240)
= $22,700
