Rule: If (x1,y1) and (x2 ,y2) be two points then
Slope, m = y2 – y1 / x2 – x1

Example:
If (2, 6 ) and (4,2) are two points then
Slope, m = (6 – 2/ (4 – 2)
=4/2
=2

Rule: If (x1,y1) be a point and slope of a line
is m then
The equation is, (y-y1)=m (x-x1)

Example:
If (2, 5 ) is a two and m=2 then the equation is
(y-y1)=m (x-x1)
(y- 5)=2 (x-2)
y=2x+3
Which is required equation

 Linear equation
Rule:
If (x1,y1) and (x2 ,y2) be two points then the
Line equation is

y − y1 x − x1
=
y1 − y2 x1 − x 2

 Linear equation
Example:- If (-2, -4)and (-1, 5) are two points
then, Find the equation of a line.
Solution: We know ,The equation of a line is
y − y1 x − x1
=
y1 − y 2 x1 − x 2

 y+4 x+2
 =
− 4 − 5 − 2 +1
 -9(x+ 2)= -1(y+ 4)
 - 9x – 18= - y – 4
 - 9x + y = 14
Which is our required line equation.

 Slope-Intercept Form

Rule: Slope-Intercept Form

y=mx+b
Where,
m is the slope and
b is the y-intercept
Example:
Write 2y +3x =18 in slope-intercept form and state the
value of the slope and the y- intercept.

1 February 2024 MNU, Prof., Dept. of ICT, BUP. 13

Solution:
Given, the equation of the line is
2y + 3x=18
 2y = -3x +18
 y = -3x/2 + 9
Which is our required form.

Therefore, slope of the line is -3/2 and y-intercept is 9 .

 Application of linear equation
Problem (Page-30):
It cost $2500 to set up the presses and machinery needed to
print and bind a paperback book. After setup, its costs $2 per
book printed and bound. Let x represent the number of books
made and y the total cost of making this number of books.
(a) Write the equation for y in terms of x
(b) State the slope of the line, and interpret this number
(c) State the y-intercept of the line, and interpret this number

1 February 2024 MNU, Prof., Dept. of ICT, BUP. 15

 Cost per book = $2 Setup Cost = $2500

Therefore, Cost = Cost per book + setup cost

= Variable cost + Fixed cost
=$21+$2500
y = 2x+2500

1 February 2024 MNU, Prof., Dept. of ICT, BUP. 16

 Solution
Given,
Setup cost (Fixed cost) = $2500
Variable cost = $ 2per book printed
x = the number of books made
y = the total cost
(a) We know,
Total cost, y = Variable cost + Setup cost
 y = 2x + 2500
Which is linear equation in slope-intercept form.
(b) The slope is 2
The slope = 2, means that every additional book printed, starting
with the first copy, adds $2 per copy.
Which is the extra cost when an additional copy is made.
1 February 2024 MNU, Prof., Dept. of ICT, BUP. 17
 Solution

(c) The y-intercept = $2500

If x = 0 books are made then the total cost,
y = 2.0 + 2500 = $2500
This means if the machines were made ready and then it was
decided not to printed the book, this cost would still be
incurred.

 Cost function
If x is the quantity produced of a certain good by a
firm at total cost C,
we can write the total cost function C = C(x)
There are two part of Total cost
(i) Fixed cost which is independent of x
(ii) Variable cost which is dependent of x
Therefore, Total cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost
 TC = VC + FC

1 February 2024 MNU, Prof., Dept. of ICT, BUP. 20

Average cost:
If total cost (c) is represented as a function of output x,
the average cost (AC) represents the cost per unit of
production.
i.e. Average cost = Total cost / Total quantity
= c /x
Marginal cost:
Marginal cost represents the change in the total cost
for each additional unit of production.
dc
i.e. Marginal cost = dx
Marginal cost = Variable cost per unit = Slope

 Application of linear equation
Problem: (Page-51):
A printer quotes a price of $7500 for printing 1,000 copies
of a book & $15000 for printing 2,500 copies. Assuming a
linear relationship and that 2,000 books are printed:

a) Find the equation relating the total cost, y, to x, the

number of books printed.
b) What is the variable cost?
c) What is the fixed cost?
d) What is the variable cost per unit?
e) What is average cost per unit?
f) What is the marginal cost of the last book printed?

1 February 2024 MNU, Prof., Dept. of ICT, BUP. 22

Solution:
Here,
y = Total cost and
x = The number of books printed
The information given consists of two points whose
co-ordinates(x,y) are in the order (Units made , total cost )
These are (1000,7500) and (2500 , 15000)
We have,
y − 7500 x − 1000
=
7500 − 15000 1000 − 2500

y − 7500 x − 1000
 =
− 7500 − 1500

1 February 2024 MNU, Prof., Dept. of ICT, BUP. 23

 y − 7500
= x − 1000
5

 y -7500 = 5x – 5000  y = 5x + 7500 -5000

 y = 5x + 2500 Which is required relation.

(b) The variable cost is 5x = 5.2000 = $ 10000

(c) The fixed cost is 2500
(d) The variable cost per book is $5
(e) The average cost per book is ( 5.2000 + 2500) / 2000 = 6.25
(f) The marginal cost of the last book printed is $ 5

 Revenue function
Revenue is the amount of money earned from the sale
of a product and depends upon the price of the product
and the quantity of the product that is actually sold.

If q is the output that is made and sold (the demand) of

a firm at price p, then the total revenue (R) collected by
the firm is R(q)=p.q

Formula :
Revenue function,
R = Selling price per unit  Total quantity
= p.q

1 February 2024 MNU, Prof., Dept. of ICT, BUP. 26

 Profit function

The profit is the difference between total revenue and

total cost which denoted by P(q).
Thus,
Profit function = Total Revenue - Total Cost
 P(q)= R(q) - C(q)

Example:
Suppose for a company the revenue function is
R(q)=30q and the cost function is C(q)=25q+10,000
then find the profit function ?

Example:
Suppose for a company the revenue function is
R(q)=30q and the cost function is C(q)=25q+10,000
then find the profit function ?
Solution :
Given,
Revenue function is R(q)=30q
and the cost function is C(q)=25q+10,000
We know Profit function, P(q) = R(q)-C(q)
Or, P(q) = 30q- (25q+10,000 )
Or, P(q) = 5q-10,000

 Break Even Analysis
or
Cost –Volume Profit(C-V-P)
Break even is a situation when profit is zero.
i.e. No Profit or No loss
At breakeven, p(q)=0
So Total Revenue = Total cost

 Application of linear equation
Problem: (Page-64):
A manufacturer has a fixed cost of $60,000 and a variable
cost of $2 per unit made & sold. Selling price is $5 per unit.
(a) Find the revenue, cost & profit functions using q for
number of units.
(b) Compute profit if 25,000 units made & sold?
(c) Compute profit if 10,000 units made & sold?
(d) Find the break even quantity.
(e) Find the break-even dollar volume of sales (revenue)?
(f) Construct the break-even chart. Label the cost &
revenue lines, the fixed cost line, & the break-even point.

1 February 2024 MNU, Prof., Dept. of ICT, BUP. 30

Solution:
We denote the number (quantity) of units made and sold by q
Given , Selling price is $5 per unit
Variable cost $2 per unit
and Fixed cost (FC) = $60,000
(a)
(i) The Revenue function, R (q) = 5q
(ii) The Variable cost (VC)= 2q
Therefore, cost function or Total cost (TC) = VC + FC
= 2q + 60,000
(iii) We know, Profit function P (q) = R (q) – C (q)
= 5q – 2q – 60,000
= 3q – 60,000
(b) If q = 25000 units are made and sold then
Profit, P (25000) = 3 . 25000 – 60000 = $15000
1 February 2024 MNU, Prof., Dept. of ICT, BUP. 31
(c) If q = 10,000 units are made and sold then,
Profit P (q) = 3 . 10000 – 60000
= - $30000
Therefore Loss of $30,000
(d) We know,
At break even, Profit will be zero.
Thus, P (q) = 0
or, 3q – 60,000= 0
or, q = 20,000 units
So the break-even quantity, q = 20,000
(e) The break-even dollar volume of sales(revenue) is
R (q) = 5q
or, R(20,000) = 5. 20,000 = $100000

1 February 2024 MNU, Prof., Dept. of ICT, BUP. 32

(f) We have, R (q) = 5q --- --- (i)
C (q) = 2q+ 60,000 --- --- (ii)
We can construct the table as follows from equation (i)

q 0 20,000

We can construct the table as follows from equation (ii)

 Mark-up and Margin
Markup: Markup is the deference between the retail
price / Selling price and the cost.
i.e. Mark up = Retail price - cost
Example: Suppose an item costs $130 is price to sell at
$200. Find Mark-up?
Solution:
We know Mark up = Retail price - cost
= $(200 - 130) = $70
Mark up percentage on cost = 70 100%
130

= 54%
1 February 2024 MNU, Prof., Dept. of ICT, BUP. 35
 Mark-up and Margin
Mark-up percentage on Selling / Retail price
70
=  100% = 35%
200
= Margin (As a function retail price)
The other 65% of $200, which is
0.65*200= $130 (Cost)

Margin: Margin = Mark-up / Retail price

= 70/200 = 0.35 = 35/100 = 35%
Margin is the markup percentage on retail price.

 Application of linear equation
Problem:
A company expects fixed cost Tk. 22,800. Margin is to
55% on retail price. Variable cost in addition to cost of
goods is estimated at Tk. 0.17 per taka of sales.
Requirements;
(i) Determine the relationship between sales and costs
(ii) Determine Break-even Point
(ii) Determine the net profit on sales of Tk. 75,000 before
deduction tax,
(iv) Show the chart of zero profit i.e. BEP chart.
1 February 2024 MNU, Prof., Dept. of ICT, BUP. 37
Solution:
Given , Fixed cost (FC) = Tk. 22,800
Variable cost in addition is Tk.0.17 per dollar of
sales
Margin is 55% on retail price
So remaining = (100 - 55)% on its cost
= 45% = 0.45
Let The total units is x
Total variable cost = 0.45x + 0.17x = 0.62x
and Revenue R(x) = x
1 February 2024 MNU, Prof., Dept. of ICT, BUP. 38
(I) We know ,
Total cost, C(x) = Variable cost + Fixed cost
= 0.62x + 22,800
(ii) At break even point, we have Profit = 0
 p(x) = 0
 R(x) – C(x) = 0
 x – 0.62x – 22,800 = 0
 x = 60,000
So break even point at x = 60,000 units

1 February 2024 MNU, Prof., Dept. of ICT, BUP. 39

(iii) If x = Tk.75,000 then revenue R, =Tk.75,000
Again, If x = Tk.75,000 then
Total cost, C = 0.62  75000 + 22,800 =
Tk.69,300
Net profit before tax deducting
= Tk. (75,00 0 - 69,300) = Tk. 5700

(iv) Draw the figure

1 February 2024 MNU, Prof., Dept. of ICT, BUP. 40

We have, R (x) = x --- --- (i)
C (q) = 0.62x + 22,800 --- --- (ii)
We can construct the table as follows from equation (i)
x 0 60,000

We can construct the table as follows from equation (ii)
