Question 60

Essay

In a paper business two types of paper are being made-sponge and cloth. Sponge sells for $5.00\$ 5.00 per package, and cloth sells for $3.00\$ 3.00 per package. Let X1X_{1} be the number of packages of sponge sold and X2\mathrm{X}_{2} the number of packages of cloth sold. Direct costs are $0.25\$ 0.25 times the square of the number of units of sponge sold and $0.05\$ 0.05 times the square of the number of units of cloth sold. Fixed costs for the two paper types together are $10.00\$ 10.00 for all the volumes contemplated or possible. There are no other costs or revenues.
