QuestionLet xx be sold-out performances.
a. Cost function: C(x)=28750+1900xC(x)=28750+1900x. b. Revenue function: R(x)=2525xR(x)=2525x. c. Find break-even point and explain its meaning. Choose A, B, or C to describe it.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The cost function is given by C(x)=28750+1900xC(x)=28750+1900x . The revenue function is given by R(x)=2525xR(x)=2525x
3. The break-even point is the point where cost equals revenue, i.e., C(x)=R(x)C(x) = R(x)

STEP 2

To find the break-even point, we need to set the cost function equal to the revenue function and solve for xx.
C(x)=R(x)C(x) = R(x)

STEP 3

Substitute the given cost and revenue functions into the equation.
28750+1900x=2525x28750+1900x =2525x

STEP 4

Rearrange the equation to isolate xx terms on one side.
252x1900x=28750252x -1900x =28750

STEP 5

implify the left side of the equation.
625x=28750625x =28750

STEP 6

olve for xx by dividing both sides of the equation by625.
x=28750625x = \frac{28750}{625}

STEP 7

Calculate the value of xx.
x=46x =46

STEP 8

Substitute x=46x =46 into either the cost function or the revenue function to find the break-even revenue/cost.
C(46)=R(46)=2525×46C(46) = R(46) =2525 \times46

STEP 9

Calculate the break-even revenue/cost.
C(46)=R(46)=$115,150C(46) = R(46) = \$115,150The break-even point is (46, \$115,150). This means that for46 sold-out performances, both cost and revenue are \$115,150.
