A manufacturer has a monthly fixed cost of $35,000 and a production cost of $25 for each unit produced. The product sells for $40 per unit. (a) What is the cost function? What is the average cost function? (b) What is the revenue function? (c) What is the profit function? (d) Compute the profit or loss corresponding to a production level of 12,000 units. (e) Find the break-even point and explain your answer.
