29) The cost y to produce x itemsâ is, in someâ cases, expressed as y equals mx plus by=mx+b. The number b gives the fixed costâ (the cost that is the same no matter how many items areâ produced), and the number m gives the variable costâ (the cost to produce an additionalâ item).
It costs â$300 to start up a business selling campaign buttons. Each button costs â$0.380 to produce. Use the above imformation to complete the exercise from a to e.
a.What is the fixedâ cost?
