a computer manufacturer produces a certain electronic component at a cost of $ 60 per component . shipping costs for delivering the components are $ 2 per unit . further , the manufacturer has costs of $ 16,500 a month related to the electronic component regardless of how many it produces . if the manufacturer produces and sells 150 components a month , what is the lowest price it can sell them for such that the costs do n ' t exceed the revenues ?
"this question can be solved easily using a equation model . 150 * p = 16500 ( fixed cost ) + 150 * 60 + 150 * 2 . = 16500 + 9000 + 300 = p = $ 172 . c"
divide(add(add(multiply(multiply(const_4, const_4), const_1000), multiply(2, const_100)), multiply(add(60, 2), 150)), 150)
