    (1) $30,000 + $12x

    (2) $50x

    (3) $38x - $30,000

    (4) 790 CD's to break even

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Variable cost = $12 per CD

    Fixed cost = $30,000

    Selling price = $50 each

    Let x be the number of CD's produced,

    (1) Total cost function:

    C (x) = Fixed cost + Variable cost

    = $30,000 + $12x

    (2) Total revenue:

    R (x) = Units produced * selling price of each unit

    = $50x

    (3) Total profit:

    P (x) = R (x) - C (x)

    = $50x - ($30,000 + $12x)

    = $50x - $30,000 - $12x

    = $38x - $30,000

    (4) Number of CD's which must be produced to break even:

    Total profit = 0

    $38x - $30,000 = 0

    x = $30,000 : $38

    = 789.47 or 790 CD's to break even.
