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. Use the data (and helpful hints) that follow to work out answers to parts (a)–(e).

A company has determined that the price and the monthly demand of one of its products are related by the equation D = √(400 − p), where p is the price per unit in dollars and D is the monthly demand. The associated fixed costs are $1,125/month, and the variable costs are $100/unit. Use this information to answer What is the optimal number of units that should be produced and sold each month? (a) 10 units (b) 15 units (c) 20 units (d) 25 units. Select the closest answer.

Suppose the demand for a certain brand of a product is given by D(p) = -p^2/416 + 250, where p is the price in dollars. If the price, in terms of the cost c, is expressed as p(c) = 4c - 32, find the demand function in terms of the cost.

A company has determined that the price and the monthly demand of its products are related by the equation: D = √(400 - p), where p is the price per unit in dollars and D is the monthly demand. The associated fixed costs are $1,125 per month and the variable costs are $100 per unit. Use this information to answer the following: a. What is the optimal number of units that should be produced and sold each month? b. Determine the value of D that represents the break-even point?
