Question 1011857: Use the following information to determine the equation for profit from selling 𝑥 items.
Price = $9.00 per unit; Fixed cost = $24,000; Variable cost = $5.92 per unit

x = number of items made and sold
R = revenue
C = cost
P = profit (equal to R - C)
----------------------------------------------------
Cost:
Total cost = (variable cost)*(number of units) + (fixed cost)
C = 5.92x + 24000
----------------------------------------------------
Revenue:
Total Revenue = (Price per unit)*(number of units sold)
R = 9x
----------------------------------------------------
Profit
Profit = Revenue - Cost
P = R - C
P = 9x - (5.92x + 24000)
P = 9x - 5.92x - 24000
P = 3.08x - 24000
So the profit equation is where x is the number of items made and sold, P is the profit in dollars.
