<PRE><B>Question 1035341</B>
 I am lost with this. 
A company that manufacturers snowboards has a fixed cost of $100,000. IT costs $175 to produce each snowboard. 
The selling price of the snowboard is $300 each. 
Use this information to answer: 
a. Write the cost function:: C(x) = 100,000+ 175x where x is number of boards
--------------------------------- 
b. Write the revenue function:: R(x) = 300x where x is number of boards
----------------------- 
c. Find the profit function.
P(x) = R(x)-C(x) = 300x -(100,000+175x) = 125x - 100,000
-------------------------- 
d. Determine the break even point. Describe what it means.
Breakeven means cost = revenue or profit = zero.
------
Solve 125x - 100,000 = 0
125x = 100,000
x = 800 (# of boards made and sold)
