A company produces a commodity with ₹24000 fixed cost. The variable cost is estimated to be 25% of the total revenue recovered on selling the product at a rate of ₹8 per unit. Find the Profit function. |
$6x−24000$ $2x−24000$ $8x−24000$ $24000−12x$ |
$6x−24000$ |
The correct answer is Option (1) → $6x−24000$ Let $x$ units of the product be produced and sold. As the selling price of one unit is ₹8, so the total revenue on selling x units = $₹8x$. Since the variable cost is 25% of total revenue recovered, so the variable cost = 25% of $₹8x =₹(\frac{25}{100}×8x)=₹2x$. Fixed cost of the company is ₹24000. ∴ Cost function (in ₹) = $C(x) = 2x + 24000$. Revenue function (in ₹) = $R(x) = 8x$. Profit function = $R(x) - C(x)$ $= 8x - (2x + 24000)$ $=6x-24000$ |
