A company manufactures cassettes. Its cost and revenue functions are C(x) = 26,000 + 30x and R(x) = 43x, respectively, where x is the number of cassettes produced and sold in a week. How many cassettes must be sold by the company to realise some profit?
Given: Revenue, R(x) = 43x
Cost, C(x) = 26,000 + 30x,
Where ‘x’ is the no. of cassettes.
Requirement: profit > 0
Solution: We know that,
Profit = revenue – cost
= 43x – 26000 – 30x > 0
= 13x – 26000 > 0
= 13x > 26000
= x > 2000
Therefore, 2000 more cassettes should be sold by the company to realize the profit.
