The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A manufacturer believes that the cost function : $C(x) =\frac{5}{2}x^2+120 x+560$  approximates the dollar cost of producing x units of a product. The manu- facturer believes it cannot make a profit when the marginal cost goes beyond $210. What is the most units the manufacturer can produce and still make a profit? What is the total cost at this level of production?

Solution :

Given the cost function is :

$C(x) =\frac{5}{2}x^2+120 x+560$  

Now, Marginal cost = $\frac{d}{dx}C(x)$

So, if the marginal cost = $ 210, then the manufacturer also makes a profit and if it goes beyond $ 210 than the manufacturer cannot make a profit.

Therefore, we have to equate : $\frac{d}{dx}C(x)= \$ 210$

$\frac{d}{dx}C(x)= \frac{5}{2}(2x)+120 = 210$

$5x + 120 = 210$

$5x=210-120$

$5x=90$

$x=45$

So when x = 45, then C(x) = $ 8042.5

Therefore, the manufacturer $\text{can make up}$ to 45 units and $\text{still makes a profit.}$ This leads to a total cost of $ 8042.5

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

€6 million

Explanation:

As we know that

According to the International Financial Reporting Standards, if the net realizable value of the inventory increases then the written down of reversal value is required

And according to the GAAP, the inventory should be valued at lower of cost or net realizable value

So in the given case, the inventory is purchased at €6 million and now it is estimated value is  €7 million so the lower value i.e €6 million should be reported on the balance sheet.

if variable cost increases by $1/unit, advertising cost increases by $1,500, and units sales increase by 250, what would be the
stira [4]

Revised Sales revenue (1,000 + 150 units = 1,150 * $35)           $40,250

Less: Reised Variable costs ($21 + $1 = $22 * 1,150)                  ($25,300)

Revised Contribution Margin                                                   $14,950

Less: Revised Fixed costs ($8,400 + $1,250)                          ($9,650)

Net operating income                                                                   $5,300

Fixed costs remain the same for a period of time. Variable costs increase or decrease depending on the performance of the company. Examples of fixed costs are rent, taxes, and insurance premiums.

Variable costs are costs that change with changes in quantity. Examples of variable costs include raw materials, parts labor, production materials, handling charges, shipping charges, packaging materials, and credit card fees. In some fiscal documents, the variable cost of production is called the "cost of goods sold."
