Explanation / Answer

solutionA:

firms profit function is

y=150-2.93(x)

y=totalprofit

x=no of units

Solutionb:

Appropriate independent variable is no of units produced,x

Solutionc:

x=10

substitute in the regression eq we get

y=150-2.93(x)

0 =150-2.93(x)

x=150/2.93

x=51

break even ouput=51 units

total profit=121 unit

Solutind

firms brakeven we get when x=0

so

y=150-2.93(x)

=150-2.93(0)

y=150
