If Gabe's Soccer Ball Company is able, due to competitive pressure, to charge $60 for a new soccer ball, while one soccer ball c

osts $28 to make, plus $15,000 per month in overhead costs (mostly Gabe's extravagant salary) find: a. The average cost c(x) of producing each soccer ball b. Algebraically find the number of soccer balls Gabe's company must produce per month in order to break even (Profit = 0). Profit = Total Revenue – Total Cost c. Algebraically find the number of soccer balls Gabe's company must make to earn a profit of $10,000 per month. d. If Gabe took a pay cut to reduce the overhead costs to $8,000 per month, how many fewer balls would the company have to sell to break even. (There are multiple ways to get this result).

Answer:

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $60

Unitary variable cost= $28

Fixed costs= $15,000

<u>First, we need to calculate the average total cost:</u>

Average cost= total cost / number of units

For example, for 1 unit and 10,000 units:

1 unit:

Average cost= 15,028/1 = 15,028

10,000 units:

Average cost= (15,000 + 28*10,000) / 10,000

Average cost= $29.5

<u>Now, we can calculate the break-even point in units:</u>

<u></u>

0= (60*x) - (28*x) - 15,000

x= number of units to break-even

0= 32x - 15,000

15,000/32= x

468.75=x

break-even point in units= 469

<u>For the desired profit of $10,000:</u>

10,000 = (60*x) - (28*x) - 15,000

25,000= 32x

781.25= x

Break-even point= 782 units

<u>Finally, fixed costs dropped by $8,000:</u>

0= 32x - 7,000

x= 7,000/32

x= 218.75

Break-even point= 219

Difference= 250 units

Scott buys candy that costs $7 per kilogram. He will spend at least $35 on candy. What are the possible numbers of kilograms he
slega [8]

Answer:

<em>p ≥ 5</em>

<em>Scott will buy at least 5 kilograms of candy.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Inequalities</u>

The candy Scott buys cost $7 per kilogram.

Let's set p=number of kilograms of candy Scott will buy.

The money spent to buy p kilograms of candy is 7p dollars.

The condition states he will spend at least $35 on candies, thus the following inequality is formed:

7p ≥ 35

Dividing by 7:

p ≥ 35/7

Operating:

p ≥ 5

Scott will buy at least 5 kilograms of candy.

Humberly has $24 and they want to buy at least 8 containers of yogurt. Yogurt is packaged in both large and small containers. La
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Hence he will be 4 large containers and 4 small containers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the number of small containers be x

and the number of large containers be y

x+y= 8---------1

also

2x+4y= 24-----2

the system of equation to solve the problem is

x+y= 8

2x+4y= 24

from 1

x=8-y

put this in 2

2(8-y)+4y= 24

16-2y+4y= 24

2y= 24-16

2y= 8

y= 8/2

y= 4

put y= 4 in 1

x+4=8

x= 8-4

x= 4

Hence he will be 4 large containers and 4 small containers
