Answer:

<em><u>P (x)   = 80x - 2x^2 - 3</u></em>

Explanation:

The Profit function is the revenue minus the cost.

Revenue = Price x Quantity =  X.px = x(88-2x) = 88x - 2x^2

Therefore the profit function P (x):  

P (x)  =  88x - 2x^2 - (8x+3)

<em><u>P (x)   = 80x - 2x^2 - 3</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

To maximise profit we use the 1st order condition: dP(x)/dq = 0

Therefore,  80 - 4x = 0

4x = 80

x = 20

So 20 leashes maximises profit.

P(x) = 80(20) - 2(20)^2 - 3

<em><u> P = $803  </u></em>

<em><u /></em>

The price to charge would be:

<u><em>p (x) = 88 - 2(20) = $48</em></u>

<u><em>The best reason would be that the price is a bit expensive for a leash so most people would not buy it.</em></u>

Net Income / (Loss)                                                        330,600

Explanation:

<u>Determination of  leather recliners sold during the year.</u>

Units Sold = Opening Finished Inventory  + Units Produced - Ending Finished Inventory

                 = 500 + 4,000 - 700

                 = 3,800

Other Notes :

Include only manufacturing costs in the statement of goods manufactured.

External users would want to see an income statement prepared using an absorption costing system in line with financial reporting standards.
