QUESTION 2

2.1 Ms Fasi started a small business by selling pies at schools and factories close to her
workplace. She pays rent of R1 500 per month. It costs her R5,00 to make and package
a pie and she sells them at R15,00 each.

Study the table below and answer the questions that follow.

TABLE 2: THE COST AND INCOME FOR THE BUSINESS

Number of Pies 0 50 100 150 250 350

Total Cost in Rand 1 500 A 2 000 2 250 2 750 3 250
Income in Rand 0 750 1 500 2 250 B 5 250

The following formulae are used to calculate the cost and income respectively:

Cost = R1 500 + R5,00 ൈn

Income = R15,00ൈ n; where n represents the number of pies

2.1.1 Use the table to determine Ms Fasi’s break-even amount. (2)

2.1.2 Calculate the value of A. (3)

2.1.3 Show by means of calculations that the value of B is R3 750. (2)
