Question 43427
An outdoor furniture manufacturer has fixed costs of $10,000 per month and average variable costs of $8.50 per unit manufactured. The company has $85,000 available to cover the monthly costs. How many units can the company manufacture? 

Let # of units the company can manufacture be "x".

Expenses=10,000+8.50x
Expenses must be <= $85000

INEQUALITY:
10000+8.50x<=85000
8.5x<=75000
x<=8823.529
Since the number of units is a whole number,
x=8823 (# of units the company can manufacture)

Cheers,
