Question 1174386: A company makes pens. They sell each pen for $10.
Their revenue is represented by R = 10 x.
The cost to make the pens is $3 each with a one-time start-up cost of $4500.
Their cost is represented by C = 3 x + 4500.
a) Find the profit, P, (P = R - C) when the company sells 1000 pens.
-1500
14500
10000
-10000

For the breakeven point...
R(x) = C(x)
10x = 3x+4500
