Answer:

C. 40 customers at $25.00 each

Explanation:

<em>To avoid losing money on the Trip the total contribution from the trip should be equal to the fixed cost of $400 for car rent</em>

<em>contribution/person = price per trip - admission and lunch cost</em>

<em>Break even number of person = Fixed cost/cont per person</em>

     contribution/person           minimum no of person to cover Fixed cost

A         15                                           400/15=  26.7          

B         12.5                                       400/12.5  =32

C           10                                       400/ 10    =40

D           7.5                                    400/ 7.5   = 53.

E           5                                            400/ 5  = 80

<em>From the table above it is obvious that at a price of $25 and having  40 persons the fixed cost would be covered and no loss would be made.</em>

Suppose that when the price of a certain commodity is p dollars per unit, then x hundred units will be purchased by consumers, w
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Profit = TR- TC&#10;= x (P) - C(x)&#10;= x(-0.05x+38) - (0.02x^{2} + 3x + 574.77)&#10;= -0.05x^{2} + 38x - 0.02x^{2} - 3x - 574.77&#10;= -0.07x^{2} + 35x -574.77

This profit equation is an equation of a parabola that opens downward (Since A=-0.07<0) and has its vertex at

x= -\frac{B}{2A}  = -\frac{35}{2 (-0.07)}  = 250

Thus, revenue is maximized when x=250 hundred units. At this quantity maximum profit is

P(250)=3800.23 hundred dollars

b. Profits are maximised at x=250 hundred units. The per unit price at this is,

p= -0.05x + 38&#10;= -0.05 (250) + 38&#10;= $25.5
