𝒑−𝒂
Where:
𝑓 = 𝑓𝑖𝑥𝑒𝑑 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡
. 𝑹 = 𝒑𝑵 a = variable cost, marginal cost
p = selling price per unit
N = quantity produced per unit
. R = Revenue
𝑪 = 𝒇 + 𝒂N C = Cost

A plywood manufacturer produces a piece of plywood at a labor cost of P0.50


and material at P3.0. The fixed charges on business are P50000/month and the

A hollow block making business can produce 15000 pieces a week. Their operation manager
determined that in order to achieve this production, they need to spend P 90000 weekly
on raw materials, electricity, labor and transportation. The company also pays a fixed
amount of P 10000 weekly.
(a)How much per piece should they sell their hollow blocks to gain a profit 40% of
their total cost?
(b) How many hollow blocks do they need to sell every week to break even?
(c) Determine their profit if they run at 80% efficiency.
