A retired auto mechanic hopes to open a rustproofing shop. Customers would be local new-car dealers. Two locations are being considered , one in the center of the city and one on the outskirts. The central location would involve fixed monthly costs of $7,000 and labor, materials and transporation cost $30 per car. The outside location would have fixed monthly cost of $4,700 and labor materials, and transporation cost of $40 per car. Dealer price at either location will be $90 per car

which location will yield the greatest profit if monthly demand is (1) 200 cars ? (2) 300 cars?

At what volume of output will the two sites yield the same monthly profit?

Areal estate agent is considering changing her cell phone plan. there are three plans to choose from, all of which involve a monthly service charge of $20. plan a has a cost of $.42 a minute for daytime calls and $.17 a minute for evening calls. plan b has a charge of $.52 a minute for daytime calls and $.15 a minute for evening calls. plan c has a flat rate of $80 with 275 minutes of calls allowed per month and a charge of $.38 per minute beyond that, day or evening.a. determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 150 minutes of day calls and 70 minutes of evening calls in a month. (do not round intermediate calculations. round your answer to 2 decimal places. omit the "$" sign in your response.)c. if the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal? (round each answer to the nearest whole number.include the indifference point itself in each answer.)d. suppose that the agent expects both daytime and evening calls. at what point (i.e., percentage of total call minutes used for daytime calls) would she be indifferent between plans a and b?
