Question

I have a bicycle and the fixed cost for the production is $24000.00 The variable cost will be $18 per bicycle. The bicycle will sell for $120.00.  Graph the cost and the revenue function, determine how many bicycles will have to be sold for the company to break even.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Variable cost =$18

Fixed cost=24000

Assume x bicycles are sold.

Step 2

The linear equation of the cost function will be:

C(x)=Variable cost*x+Fixed cost

=18x+24000

Step 3

Selling cost of 1 bicycle =120

The revenue function will be:

R(x)=selling cost*x

=120x
