Explanatory Answer

Method of solving this CAT DILR Question from Line Chart & Bar Chart question

Profit = Revenue – variable cost – fixed cost

Fixed cost remains constant upto 34 units after which additional investment is to be done in fixed assets. Maximum production = 50 units.

(d) For 20 units,

Profit = 400 – 280 – 70 = 50

Below 20 units the profit will be less than 50.

So a minimum of 20 units is to be manufactured
