2. An apartment complex has a demand given by p = -5x + 860,
where x is the number of apartments rented and p is the price
for each apartment, in dollars. The cost of maintaining the
complex is $120 per rented apartment. There are fixed costs of
$6000.
a) Find the revenue equation.
b) Find the cost equation.
c) Find the profit equation.
d) Find the number of apartments that must be rented to break
even.

The required equations computed from the data given are :

  • R(x) = 860x - 5x²
  • C(x) = 120x + 6000
  • P(x) = 740x - 5x² - 6000
  • Break even point = 139 gallons and 9 apartment

Given the Parameters :

  • Price per apartment, p = - 5x + 860
  • x = number of apartments rented
  • Fixed cost = 6000
  • Maintainance cost per apartment = $120

The Revenue Function, R(x) :

  • Price per apartment × Number of apartments rented

  • (-5x + 860)x ;
  • R(x) = 860x - 5x²

The Cost equation, C(x) :

  • Fixed cost + Maintenance cost per apartment
  • C(x) = 6000 + 120x

The Profit function, P(x) ::

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = 860x - 5x² - (6000 + 120x)

P(x) = 860x - 5x² - 6000 - 120x

P(x) = 740x - 5x² - 6000

Number of apartments required to break even :

At break even ;

P(x) = 0

740x - 5x² - 6000 = 0

Divide through by 5

-x² + 148 - 1200 = 0

Using a quadratic calculator :

The roots are (139.39, 8.60)

Therefore. The company will break even at 139 apartments rented or 9 apartments.
