Answer:
d. The price will stay the same, but the quantity will increase.
Explanation:
When the demand and supply both fall, the equilibrium quantity will definately fall but the price will remain the same. The new supply adapts to the reduction of the demand.
Answer:
(a) C(x) = 9500 + 55x
(b) R(x) = 90x
(c) P(x) = 35x - 9500
(d) C(240) = $22,700
All functions are measured in $.
Explanation:
The total revenue of an entity is a function of the number of units sold and the selling price per unit. The total cost is a function of the fixed cost and the variable cost (which is also a function of the units produced/sold). Profit is a function of sales and cost.
Given that monthly;
fixed costs = $9500
variable costs = $55 per unit
Selling price = $90 per unit
Where x is the number of units
total costs C(x) in $ = 9500 + 55x
total revenue R(x) in $ = 90x
profit P(x) in $ = 90x - (9500 + 55x)
= 35x - 9500
C(240) = 9500 + 55(240)
= $22,700
