A manufacturer estimates that it costs $75 to produce a giant frog plushie. The fixed overhead is $4,500.
1. Express the total cost of production as a function of the number of giant frog plushies produced.
2. With revenue of $100 per plushie, when will the manufacturer break even? include units.
function:
C(q) = 75q + 4500
break even:
75q + 4500 = 100q
or
100q - (75q + 4500) = 0
the manufacturer will break even after producing 180 giant frog plushies.
