A minimum of 220 backpacks must be produced to obtain the desired benefits.
Since a company making backpacks charges $ 29.99 for each backpack, and it costs $ 6.45 to make each backpack, and the company can make backpacks in multiples of 10 and there is $ 1,000 in fixed costs, and the company wants to make at least $ 4,000 profit each week, to determine how many backpacks should be produced, the following calculation must be performed:
29.99 - 6.45 = 23.54
500 x 23.54 - 1000 = 10,770
250 x 23.54 - 1000 = 4.885
220 x 23.54 - 1000 = 4,178.80
210 x 23.54 - 1000 = 3,943.40
Therefore, a minimum of 220 backpacks must be produced to obtain the desired benefits.
