Question Description

Help me study for my Economics class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

I would attached the quiz but here the first three questions

1. You are serving as the chair for your community's annual wellness campaign. A key event is the annual Walk 3k, Run 10k, Ride 20k event. The event is staged entirely by volunteers and the goal is to attract community-wide awareness of getting active as a key step to wellness. In other words, the goal is not to raise money, but to prompt awareness. As the chair, you set a financial goal to break even on the one and only cost of the event, a fitness bag with the community seal and the event motto, “I AM ON THE RIGHT TRACK!”

The cost of the bags, which must be ordered in batches of 100, are:

Bags Fixed Cost Variable Cost Total Cost Marginal Cost
0 $1,700 $ - $1,700  
100 $1,700 $500 $2,200
200 $1,700 $1,200 $2,900
300 $1,700 $2,700 $4,400
400 $1,700 $5,200 $6,900
500 $1,700 $9,000 $10,700
600 $1,700 $15,000 $16,700
700 $1,700 $23,800 $25,500
800 $1,700 $36,800 $38,500
900 $1,700 $55,800 $57,500
1,000 $1,700 $83,000 $84,700  
Bags Fixed Cost Variable Cost Total Cost
0 $1,700 $ - $1,700
100 $1,700 $500 $2,200
200 $1,700 $1,200 $2,900
300 $1,700 $2,700 $4,400
400 $1,700 $5,200 $6,900
500 $1,700 $9,000 $10,700
600 $1,700 $15,000 $16,700
700 $1,700 $23,800 $25,500
800 $1,700 $36,800 $38,500
900 $1,700 $55,800 $57,500
1,000 $1,700 $83,00 $84,700

2. Given the above information on cost, if you charge $15 per entry, what is the breakeven quantity of bags that you should order? Orders must be placed in blocks of 100 bags.

Please select any/all viable approaches below:

  Use the profit maximizing rule, MR ≥ MC, buy 300 bags.
  Use the profit maximizing rule, MR ≥ MC, buy 200 bags.
  Use Qb = F/(MR-MC) where Qb is the breakeven quantity to be determined, the optimal quantity of bags is 300.
  Use Qb = F/(MR-MC) where Qb is the breakeven quantity to be determined, the optimal quantity of bags is 200.
