Expert Solution
Step 1

   Given that  the cost function is Cx = 160,000 + 30 x

            The revenue function is   Rx = 40 x

 (a) The company profit function is  Px = Rx - Cx

                            Px = 40 x - 160,000 + 30 x

                           Px = 10 x - 160,000 

 

(b)    If  x  =  18,000 then 

                  P18000 = 10 18,000 - 160,000 

            P18000 = 180,000 - 160,000

          P18000 = 20,000
