Please answer with details on how to do it. A small company manufactures a certain product. Variable costs are $20 per unit and fixed costs are $10,875. The price demand relationship for this product is P = -0.25D + 250, where P is the unit sales price of the product and D is the annual demand. Total cost = fixed cost + Variable cost, TC = CF + CV Revenue = Demand x Price, TR = D x P Profit = Total Revenue – Total Cost, P = TR – TC a) Develop the equations for the total cost and total revenue. Find the breakeven quantity c) How many units must be sold to maximize profit? What is the company’s maximum profit?
The Rocky Mountain Publishing Company isconsidering introducing a new morning newspaper inDenver. Its direct competitor charges $0.25 at retailwith $0.05 going to the retailer.

Shawn Pen & Pencil Sets Inc. has fixed costs of $421,400. Its product currently sells for $18 per unit and has variable costs of $8.20 per unit. Mr. Bic, the head of manufacturing, proposes to buy new equipment that will cost $440,000 and drive up fixed costs to $563,500. Although the price will remain at $18 per unit, the increased automation will reduce costs per unit to $5.75. a. Compute the following break-even points: i. Current break-even point ii. Proposed new break-even point b. As a result of Bic's suggestion, will the break-even point go up or down?

Tyre presently rents and uses 7000 square meters of warehouse space for $2700 a month. It has the option of reducing the rented space to 2000 square meters, in which case the monthly rent would be $1000 a month. Furthermore, Tyre could cease renting warehouse space entirely. Tom Clay, the Tyre Corp. plant engineer, is considering three alternatives: 1. Buy the new warehouse and lease half the space to the Johnson Company. In turn, the Tyre-rented space would be reduced to 2000 square meters. 2. Buy the new warehouse and cease renting any warehouse space. 3. Continue as is, with 7000 square meters of rented warehouse space.

FG Manufacturers wants to determine the effectiveness of their pricing decisions for their product Lylo. As a consultant, you have been asked to develop cost functions that will assist in arriving at the optimal price that will enable the company to maximize profits. During the year, you were provided with the following demand and costs functions for the product: P = 400 – 6Q; where P is the unit selling price and Q is quantity in thousands of units. TC = 8Q2 + 36Q + 150; where TC is total cost in thousands of dollars. Determine the optimal sales revenue. Calculate the maximum profit. Briefly outline two (2) factors to be considered by managementswhen pricing decisions are being made.

1. Last year, your company purchased a site license to the accounting software suite CookTheBooks® for $1,150. Yesterday, your IT department discovered that the software erroneously calculates 2 + 2 = 5 and suggested purchasing a replacement software, BeanCounter®, for $950. How should your company assess or quantify the cost of the decision to replace its software? The BeanCounter® software includes a monthly fee of $37 per site license (i.e., the fee to the company is $37 per month regardless of the number of computers on which the software is installed or how often it is used); how would the company characterize this cost (in terms of the concepts we've discussed this week which is short and long run production and cost)?
