Hi we had this strange question come up in our advanced class and I'm quite confused as to how to go about figuring this one out. Here is the situation of a question
A company sells boxes to its customers but recently the company has been struggling to make a profit. Looking at the plans they offer to their clients below determine which plan and what volume of boxes need to be sold to achieve OPTIMUM profit in 6 months time. Can you develop a similar plan to furthur increase company profits?
Box plan 1 - Box cost to customer - $50, Profit on box - $20, customer must buy no minimum buy amount per month (5 boxes per transaction minimum buy however)
Box plan 2 - Box cost to customer - $45, Profit on box - $15, customer must buy minimum 20 boxes per month
Box plan 3 - Box cost to customer - $40, Profit on box - $10, customer must buy minimum 50 boxes per month
company expenses = $4000 monthly
This isn't a HOMEWORK question so I didn't want to put it in that section. Just something I came across in class and it greatly intrigued me because I could not make heads or tails of where to start
all help is appreciated guys!
