Answer:
The function that would determine the cost in dollars, c(z), of mailing a letter weighing z ounces is (0.46 + 0.20z)
Explanation:
Weight of the letter = z ounces (z is an integer greater than 1)
cost to mail a letter weighing 1 ounce = $0.46
cost to mail an additional ounce = $0.20
cost to mail z additional ounces = z × $0.20 = $0.20z
Total cost of mailing a letter weighing z ounces = $0.46 + $0.20z
Therefore, cost function, c(z) = 0.46 + 0.2z
 
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
9,400 units
Explanation:
The breakeven point is the number of units that must be sold for the company to make neither a loss nor a profit. A target profit is the net of the sales less the sum of the fixed and variable expenses. The contribution margin  is the difference between the sales and variable cost.
Sales per unit = $210,000/7000 = $30
Variable cost per unit = $136,500/7000 = $19.50
Let the number of units to be sold to achieve the profit target be x
30x - 19.5x - 67200 = 31500
10.5x = 98700
x = 98700/10.5
x = 9,400 units
