Cost and Revenue Components for Manufacturing Weight Training Benches
You are working as an operations assistant for a fitness equipment manufacturer. The production team is planning to manufacture a new low-cost weight training bench, which has a variable cost of $15 per bench, a selling price of $32 per bench, and monthly fixed costs of $25,500. To prepare for a financial review meeting, you need to write a brief memo recalling and defining the key algebraic components used to model this business scenario.
In your memo, address the following three points:
- State the cost function for this scenario, and explain what the variable cost ($15) and fixed cost ($25,500) represent in the context of manufacturing.
- State the revenue function for this scenario, and explain what the selling price ($32) represents.
- Recall and state the algebraic equation used to find the break-even point for this scenario, and describe what the break-even point represents in practical terms.

A manufacturing firm producing weight training benches has a monthly fixed cost of 25,500 dollars and a variable production cost of 15 dollars per bench. If each bench is sold for 32 dollars, which equation correctly represents the break-even point (), where the total revenue equals the total production cost?
