QUESTION 2
The surfing club provides swimming lessons to boost their funds. The club has fixed costs
of R345 per day, when offering these classes-mostly for insurance-and it costs them R65 for
each lesson given. How many lessons did they provide if total costs amounted to R3900?
a. 55
b. 253845
c. 11
d. 1345565
, TC =T FC + TVC
3 900 = 345 + (65*Q)
65Q = 3 900 – 345
Q = 3 555/65 = 54.69 = 55
QUESTION 3
A firm's fixed cost to produce cups amount to R1250 per week and it costs R12 to produce
each cup. These cups are sold for R55 each. What would be the firm's profit if they produce
and sell 150 cups?
a. R5 200
b. R30 50
c. R8 250
d. R11 300
Profit =TR – TC = 8 250 – 3 050 = 5 200
TR = Px Q = R55 x 150 = R8 250
TC = FC +VC = 1 250 + (12 * 55) = R3 050
QUESTION 4
The demand and supply functions for pans are
q=710−5,5p and p=3,5q+57,5,
