6. esc A company sells one of its products for $42 each. The monthly fixed costs are $2700. The marginal cost of the product is $10. Let q=quantity and C(q) = cost. a) Express the total monthly costs, C, as a function of q, the quantity produced each month. C(q) = 9= :0: 21 O Express the total monthly revenue, R, as a function of the quantity, q, sold each month. R(q) = c) Find the quantity, q, produced and sold each month at which this company will break even. Round your answer to a whole number. F1 50,252 8.
