Expert Solution

Let the quantity produced be x

In case of current mode of operation,

Total Revenue=TR=Price*output=203*x

Total Cost=TC=4884+300+23*x=5184+23*x

Profit=TR-TC=203x-5184-23x=180x-5184

In case of new option,

Total Revenue=TR=Price*output=305*x

Total Cost=TC=6985+421+59*x=7406+59*x

Profit=TR-TC=305x-7406-59x=246x-7406

Company will be indifferent if profit of both options is equal i.e.

180x-5184=246x-7406

(246-180)*x=(7406-5184)

x=(7406-5184)/(246-180)=33.67 or say 34 units

Company would be indifferent if output is 33.67 tables or say 34 tables.
