Question
A company that manufactures lamps has a fixed cost of
$80,000 and it costs $20 to produce each lamp. Lamps are sold
for $70.
a. Write the cost function.
C(x) = 80,000 + 20x
Fixed
Variable cost:
cost
$20 per lamp
b. Write the revenue function.
R(x)
70x
Revenue per lamp, $70,
times number of lamps sold
c. Find the break-even point.
Solve
Sy
80,000 + 20x
70x
by substitution. Solving
70x = 80,000 + 20x
yields x = 1600. Back-substituting, y
The break-even point is (1600, 112,000): The company
breaks even if it sells 1600 lamps. At this level, money
coming in equals money going out: $112,000.
112,000.
