Question: A firm believes a product's sales volume (S) depends on its unit selling price (P) as S = $100- P. The production cost (C) is $1000 + 10S.

(a) Draw a graph with the sales volume (S) from 0 to 100 on the x axis, and total cost and total income from $0 to $2500 on the y axis. On the graph draw the line C = $1000 + 10S. Then plot the curve of total income. Mark the breakeven points on the graph.

(b) Determine the breakeven point (lowest sales volume at which total sales income just equals total production cost). (Hint: This may be done by trial and error or by using the quadratic equation to locate the point at which profit is zero.)
