Answer 1

Answer:

In the question, it is given that the fixed cost is $25000 and the expense to produce each doughnut is $0.25.

It is required to represent the cost C of the company as a function of x, the number of doughnuts produced.

To do so, multiply the expense of each doughnut by the number of doughnuts then add the fixed expenses of the doughnut selling company to find the total cost of the company.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expense of each doughnut is $0.25.

The expenses for x doughnuts are $0.25x.

The fixed cost is $25000.

The total cost of the company is the sum of fixed cost and the expenses for the doughnut, C = 0.25x + 25000.

The total cost of the company is, C = 0.25x + 25000.
