Problem 6

Make-A-Sale is a new company designed to assist clients selling household items over the internet. Start-up costs for the company are \(\$40,000\), and they expect variable costs to be \(\$6.00\) for each item sold. They plan to charge \(\$14.00\) per item.

  1. Find the total cost, revenue, and profit for selling \(x\) items.

  2. If they sell \(3,000\) items, find their cost, revenue, and profit.

  3. If they sell \(12,000\) items, find their cost, revenue, and profit.

  4. Find the break-even point (when revenue equals cost), include a graph of the inequalities \(R(x)\leq C(x)\) and \(R(x)\geq C(x)\) to show intervals of profit and loss.
