QUIZ # 3 𝑦 − 550,000 = 2𝑥 − 100,000 simplify

ANSWERS AND SOLUTION

𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 450,000 substitute
GIVEN:
𝑇𝐶𝑓𝑥 = 2𝑥 + 450,000
𝑇𝑅 = 𝑠𝑝 × 𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑦
Outputs Fixed Variable Total Total Where in: 𝑇𝑉𝐶 = 2𝐶 𝐴𝑁𝐷 𝑇𝐹𝐶 = 450, 000
Profit Conclusion
( in units) Cost Cost Cost Revenue
50 000 550 000 350 000 Since TR and TC are found, look for TP.

𝑇𝑃𝑓𝑥 = 5𝑄 − 450,000
125 000 700 000 875 000

1. Determine TR, TC, and the Profit Function. 2. How many units to breakeven? Find the breakeven cost and
Sol’n: revenue . How much is the breakeven price?
Since the sp is not given compute for it first. 𝑇𝑉𝐶 2𝑄
𝐴𝑉𝐶 = 𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑦 = 𝑄
=2
𝑇𝑅 = 𝑠𝑝 𝑥 𝑄

𝑇𝑅 350,000
OR look for the coefficient of Q in the TVC function
𝑠𝑝 = 𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑦 = 50,000
=7

In order to find for TC use the two- point method where in TC is y.

3. How much is the total variable cost (TVC) if Q= 75,000 units? 5. Complete the table.

𝑇𝑉𝐶 = 2𝑄 Outputs Fixed Variable Total Total

Profit Conclusion
( in units) Cost Cost Cost Revenue

50 000 450 000 100 000 550 000 350 000 (200 000) Net loss
𝑇𝑉𝐶 = 150,000 88 000 450 000 176 000 626 000 616 000 (10 000) Net loss

100 000 450 000 200 000 650 000 700 000 50 000 Net income
4. How many units to cover the fixed cost?
125 000 450 000 250 000 700 000 875 000 175 000 Net income
𝑇𝑅 = 𝑇𝐹𝐶

7𝑄 = 450,000
Use the ff:
7𝑄 = 450,000
7 TFC = 450,000

𝑄 = 64,285.71429 𝑜𝑟 64, 285.71 TVC = 2Q

Note : round-off to the nearest two decimal places TP = TR – TC or TP = 5Q – 450,000

Conclusion:

NET LOSS = NEGATIVE PROFIT

NET INCOME = POSITIVE PROFIT

BREAKEVEN = 0 PROFIT
