Choose the correct letter of answer On a scattergrap, the diagonal line cuts across two sets of observations, namely: 600:200, and 900:500 which refer to costs and units, respectively. The fixed costs is plotted in the graph at P400. In this case, the variable cost per unit is equal to: a. P1.00b. P1.25c. P1.50d. P1.12
Suppose a ceiling fan manufacturer has the total cost function C(x) = 35x + 1200 and the total revenue function R(x) = 65x. (a) What is the equation of the profit function P(x) for this commodity? P(x) = (b) What is the profit on 20 units? P(20) = Interpret your result. The total costs are less than the revenue. The total costs are more than the revenue.
