A publisher is planning on producing a new textbook

The fixed costs are $240000 and variable costs is $20 per book

The sale price is $35.00 ech

let x be the number of books

a. express the cost function as a linear function of

C(x) = 240,000 + 20x

-----------------

b. express the revenue function as a linear function of x

Revenue = (cost per unit)*(number of units)

R(x) = 35x

-------------------------

c. graph the cost and revenue function found in a and b

Comment: the numbers are too large for this site.

You have two points: (0,24000) and (1,240020) for the Cost function.

Plot the points and draw a line thru them.

---------

Generate a couple of points for revenue and draw a line thru them

to see the Revenue function; for example (0,0) and (1,35)

----------

d.what is the breakeven point

Breakeven is when Revenue equals Cost

35x = 24000+20x

15x = 240000

x = 16000 books
