a)
As given we have C(x) = 3x + 160 and coffee sells for $7 hence we can say that R(x) = 7x
we know that break even point is the point where C(x) = R(x)
Hence,
Hence we can say that 44 pounds of coffee must have to sell to have a break even
b)
we have to find the profit when 32 pounds of coffee are sold
we have,
C(x) = 3x + 160 and R(x) = 7x
we know that profit function is given by P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
Hence,
Put x = 32 we can say that,
minus sign indicates the loss hence we can say that there is a loss of 32 dollars by selling 32 pounds of coffee.
we have to find the profit when 32 pounds of coffee are sold but as 32 < 40(break even point) we have a loss of 32 dollars.

A speciality coffee house sells Colombian coffee at a steady rate of 6000 pounds annually. The beans are purchased from a local supplier for $3.00 per pound. The coffee house estimates that it costs them $75 in paperwork and labor to place an order for that coffee. Holding costs are based on a 30% annual rate. Suppose the coffee from the above problem has a shelf life of 1 month. a. How often should orders be placed? b. What quantity...

2. A specialty coffee house sells Colombian coffee at a steady rate of 285 pounds per year. The beans are purchased from a local supplier for $3.00 per pound. An estimated $38 are spent in paperwork and labor each time an order is placed for the coffee beans, and holding costs are based on a 20 percent annual interest rate. The lead time for an order to arrive from the supplier is exactly 1 month after it is placed. a....

A concert promoter sells tickets and has a marginal-profit function given below, where P'(x) is in dollars per ticket. This means that the rate of change of total profit with respect to the number of tickets sold, x, is P'(x). Find the total profit from the sale of the first 200 tickets, disregarding any fixed costs. P'(x) = 3x - 1140 The total profit is $ (Round to the nearest cent as needed.)
