Question 20/49
Through a local marketplace, a person makes livestock feeders to sell. The graph shows the functions modeling the cost and revenue.

What is the minimum number of livestock feeders that must be sold in order for the revenue to cover the costs?

What is the minimum number of livestock feeders that must be sold in order for the revenue to cover the costs?
Correct Answer: C
This question asks for the break-even point, which is the point where:
Revenue=Cost
On the graph:
The solid blue line represents revenue.
The dashed blue line represents cost.
The revenue line starts below the cost line, meaning the person is not yet covering costs. The revenue line eventually crosses the cost line at a little more than 4 units.
Since the question asks for the minimum number of livestock feeders that must be sold, we need a whole number of feeders.
The graph shows the intersection occurs between:
4 and 5
So selling 4 feeders is not enough, but selling 5 feeders is enough for revenue to cover the costs.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
C
