a computer manufacturer produces a certain electronic component at a cost of $ 100 per component . shipping costs for delivering the components are $ 4 per unit . further , the manufacturer has costs of $ 24,500 a month related to the electronic component regardless of how many it produces . if the manufacturer produces and sells 100 components a month , what is the lowest price it can sell them for such that the costs do n ' t exceed the revenues ?
"$ 24500 is a fixed cost each component is $ 104 ( $ 100 to produce , $ 4 to ship ) manufacturer will be producing and selling 100 components so therefore the equation to find price would be 100 * p = 24500 + ( 100 * 100 ) + ( 100 * 4 ) p = ( 24500 + 10000 + 400 ) / 100 p = 349 answer : c"
