Suppose that a manufacturer uses 100 lb of material to produce products A and B, which require 4 lb and 2 lb of material per unit, respectively.
Solution: If x and y denote the number of units produced of A and B, respectively,
Solving for y gives

The point of market equilibrium
• Agreement between buyer and seller directly or indrectly to make the transaction of product with certain price and amount of quantity.
• In mathematics the same like crossing between demand and supply function

Equilibrium
• The point of equilibrium is where demand and supply curves intersect.

Exercise : Price - DemandAt the beginning of the twenty-first century, the world
demand for crude oil was about 75 million barrels per day and the price of a barrel fluctuated between $20 and $40. Suppose that the daily demand for crude oil is 76.1 million barrels when the price is $25.52 per barrel and this demand drops to 74.9 million barrels when the price rises to $33.68. Assuming a linear relationship between the demand x and the price p, find a linear function in the form p = ax + b that models the price – demand relationship for crude oil. Use this model to predict the demand if the price rises to $39.12 per barrel.

Exercise : Price - DemandSuppose that the daily supply for crude oil is 73.4 million
barrels when the price is $23.84 per barrel and this supply rises to 77.4 million barrels when the price rises to $34.2. Assuming a linear relationship between the demand x and the price p, find a linear function in the form p = ax + b that models the price – demand relationship for crude oil. Use this model to predict the supply if the price drops to $20.98 per barrel.

Example 1 – Tax Effect on Equilibrium
Let be the supply equation for a manufacturer’s product, and suppose the demand equation is .
a. If a tax of $1.50 per unit is to be imposed on the manufacturer, how will the original equilibrium price be affected if the demand remains the same?
b. Determine the total revenue obtained by the manufacturer at the equilibrium point both before and after the tax.

BREAK EVENT POINT
• BEP is identifying the level of operation or level output that would result in a zero profit. The other way thatr the firm can’t get profit or don’t have loss
• TC= FC + VC
• TC : Total Cost
• FC : Fixed Cost
• VC : Variabel Cost
• VC = Pp x Q = cost production per unit x
• amount of product
2007 Pearson Education Asia20
• TR = Pj x Q
• Tr : Total Revenue
• Pj : Selling Price
• Q : Amount of product
Profit = TR –TC

Example 2 – Break-Even Point, Profit, and Loss
A manufacturer sells a product at $8 per unit, selling all that is produced. Fixed cost is $5000 and variable cost per unit is 22/9 (dollars).
a. Find the total output and revenue at the break-even
point.
b. Find the profit when 1800 units are produced.
c. Find the loss when 450 units are produced.
d. Find the output required to obtain a profit of $10,000.
2007 Pearson Education Asia
Break-Even Points
• Profit (or loss) = total revenue(TR) – total cost(TC)
• Total cost = variable cost + fixed cost
• The break-even point is where TR = TC.
