A gourmet bottled tea drink manufacturer has found that the cost to produce 150 cases of bottled tea is $10,000 while it costs $13,150 to produce 325 cases of bottled tea.

a. Find the linear cost function, C(x) where x is the number of cases of bottled tea.

b. If the revenue function for selling x cases of teach is R(x) = 40x, how much does each case of bottled tea sell for?

c. How many cases of bottled tea do they need to sell each month to break even? Round appropriately. Include correct units.

d. If the profit was $1714, how many cases were sold?

*Please explain how you got the answer and show the work, that would be very helpful!*

A manufacturer is planning to produce and sell a new product. It would cost $20 million at Year 0 to buy the equipment necessary to manufacture the product. The project would require net working capital at the beginning of each year in an amount equal to 15% of the year's projected sales; for example, NWC0 = 15%(Sales1). The product would sell for $30 per unit, and believes that variable costs would amount to $15 per unit. After Year 1, the...

A laptop manufacturer can produce laptops at a cost of $400 per unit and incurs a fixed cost of $100,000 which is independent of the quantity produced. Currently the selling price of a laptop is $1400 and the resulting demand (or quantity sold, since both are the same) is 220,000 units. It is also known that a $2 decrease in price will increase the demand by 200 units. Assume the demand function is linear and fully known. A. What is...
