Question

A local polka band wants to make and sell CDs of its songs. Suppose it costs $ 1000 to record; $ 450 to edit; and $ 350 for album artwork; and suppose each CD that is manufactured will cost them $ 2.50. How much will it cost to make 300 CDs? (b) What is the total cost C(n) in dollars of making n CDs? C(n) (c) If the band wants to break even (.e_ make zero profit) in making and selling n CDs, what should be the price P(n) in dollars that the band should charge for each CD? P(n) (d) Find P(300) and use it to fill in the blanks to answer what it means in this situation. If the band makes and sells CDs, it must sell each CD for $ to break even: (e) Find n when P(n) = 10. What does it mean in this situation? If the band can sell each CD for $ then it must make CDs to break even:

Answer 1

The total cost to make 300 CDs is $2550.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the cost of making 300 CDs, we need to add up all the costs involved:

1. Recording cost: $1000
2. Editing cost: $450
3. Album artwork cost: $350
4. Manufacturing cost per CD: $2.50

Therefore, the total cost to make 300 CDs is:

Total cost = Recording cost + Editing cost + Album artwork cost + (Manufacturing cost per CD x Number of CDs)

Total cost = $1000 + $450 + $350 + ($2.50 x 300)

Total cost = $1000 + $450 + $350 + $750

Total cost = $2550

Answer 2

To make 300 CDs, the total cost will be $3200.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost of making 300 CDs, we need to calculate the total cost.

The cost to record is $1000, the cost to edit is $450, the cost for album artwork is $350, and each CD costs $2.50 to manufacture. So the total cost is:

Total Cost = (Recording Cost + Editing Cost + Artwork Cost + Manufacturing Cost per CD) * Number of CDs

Total Cost = ($1000 + $450 + $350 + $2.50) * 300

= $3200

Therefore, it will cost $3200 to make 300 CDs.
