Answer

a. $C(x)=30,000+0.02x$. b. $R(x)=0.5x$. c. $62,500$. This means that you will break even when you produce and sell 62,500 cards.

Work Step by Step

a. We can write the cost function as $C(x)=30,000+0.02x$. b. We can write the revenue function as $R(x)=0.5x$. c. The break-even point can be found by letting $R(x)=C(x)$ or $0.5x=30,000+0.02x$ which gives $x=62,500$. This means that you will break even when you produce and sell 62,500 cards.
