Question

Consider a manufacturing process that produces 5000 units at a cost of $600,000 and 10,000 units at a cost of $800,000. Each unit produced can be sold for $100. Assume a linear relationship exists between the number of units produced and cost. Find the cost, revenue and profit when 100,000 units are produced. Cost = $ Revenue = $ Profit = $

Step 1

Given two points (5000, 600000) and (10000, 800000), we can find the slope (m) of the cost function using the formula: \[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \] \[ m = \frac{800000 - 600000}{10000 - 5000} \] \[ m = \frac{200000}{5000} \] \[ m = 40 \] Show more…
