The total cost C for a manufacturer during a given time period is a function of the number N of items produced during that period. To determine a formula for the total cost, we need to know the manufacturer's fixed costs (covering things such as plant maintenance and insurance), as well as the cost for each unit produced, which is called the variable cost. To find the total cost, we multiply the variable cost by the number of items produced during that period and then add the fixed costs. Suppose that a manufacturer of widgets has fixed costs of $9000 per month and that the variable cost is $10 per widget (so it costs $10 to produce 1 widget). (a) Use a formula to express the total cost C of this manufacturer in a month as a function of the number of widgets produced in a month. (Use N as the number of widgets produced in a month.) C = (b) Express using functional notation the total cost if there are 200 widgets produced in a month. Calculate the total cost if there are 200 widgets…

The total revenue R for a manufacturer during a given time period is a function of the number N of items produced during that period. To determine a formula for the total revenue, we need to know the selling price per unit of the item. To find the total revenue, we multiply this selling price by the number of items produced. The profit P for a manufacturer is the total revenue minus the total cost. If this number is positive, then the manufacturer turns a profit, whereas if this number is negative,…
