Expert Solution
Step 1 Concept

Dear Student as per Bartleby guideline we can answer only three sub-parts in a question has more than three sub-parts therefore to get answer of remaining sub-part please re-post this question with remaining sub-parts.

The Total Cost is : 

Production cost =[Produced Units × variable cost per unit ]                

Total Revenue is :

Revenue = [ Produced units × Sale price per unit ]

 

Step 2 Calculation

(A) Cost function : 

If Fixed cost ignore -

Production cost =[Produced Units × variable cost per unit ]                

Production Cost = X × $ 30 

If Fixed cost consider -

Production cost =[Produced Units × variable cost per unit ] + Fixed cost               

Production Cost = [X × $ 30] + $ 300000

Production Cost = $ 30x + $ 300000

(B) Revenue Function :

Revenue = [ Produced units × Sale price per unit ]

Revenue = [ X × $ 80 ]

Revenue = $ 80 x
