What is the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)? A federal agency that regulates the stock market.

The SEC protects consumers using the stock market. By regulating everything that comes through it, they are able to protect investors, maintain fair markets and facilitate capital formation. Those who sell and trade securities use the SEC to make sure they are regulated.

Suppose a publisher faces the following costs of producing 10,000 newspapers each month: $5,500 cost of labor; $2,200 monthly mo

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Variable cost = $6,550

Explanation:

Variable cost is the cost incurred during the production process that changes with quantity of goods produced. For example labor, machine operating cost, and raw materials.

The other type of cost is variable cost that does not change with volume of production, but rather remains constant. For example rent, tax, and so on.

In the given instance the costs that are variable are cost of labor, cost of electricity to run printing presses, and cost of ink for paper.

Monthly mortgage and property tax are fixed cost that must be paid regardless of production volume.

variable cost = $5,500 + $800 + $250

Variable cost = $6,550

A manufacturer estimates that its product can be produced at a total cost of C(x) = 50,000 + 100x + x3 dollars. If the manufactu

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The level of production x that will maximize the profit is: 22,966

Explanation:

C(x) = 50,000 + 100x + x³

R(x) = 3400x

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

= 3400x - [50,000 + 100x + x³]

= 3400x - 50,000 - 100x - x³

= 3300x - 50,000 - x³ .................... (A)

P'(x) = 3300(1) - 0 - 3x²

= 3300 - 3x²

At a critical point, P'(x) = 0

∴ 0 = 3300 - 3x²

3x² = 3300

x² = 1100

x = ± $\sqrt{1100}$

P"(x) = -6x

P( $\sqrt{1100}$ ) = -6 ( $\sqrt{1100}$ ) < 0

by second derivative, 'P' max at x = $\sqrt{1100}$ = 33.17 (rounds)

since x = $\sqrt{1100}$ ,

recall that P(x) = 3300x - 50,000 - x³ from equation (A)

Therefore, Maximum Profit

P( $\sqrt{1100}$ ) = 3300 $\sqrt{1100}$ - 50000 - $\sqrt{1100} ^{3}$

= 3300(33.17) - 50,000 - 33.17³

= 109461 -50,000 - 36495.26

= 22,965.74

Maximum profit is 22,966 to the nearest whole number
