A company has a project for building and operating a new electricity generation station. The
operation costs of generators is given by:
Co = MHN3
Where M is constant, H is the operation hours, and N is the number of generators.
It is known that, when the company uses 12 generators, the operation cost is found to be $ 250
per hour. Other overhead costs including electricity transformation and maintenance are
estimated to be $40000 for each hour per generator.

A manufacturer produces a piece of plywood at a
labor cost of P20.00 and material at P35.00. The
fixed charges on business are P150,000.00 a month
and the variable cost is P20.00 a piece. If one
plywood sells for P60.00 each, how many pieces
