The Sterling Corporation makes and sells motorcycles. The total cost of each cycle is the sum of the costs of frames, assembly, and engine. The firm produces its own engines according to the following cost equation: CE = 250,000 + 1,000 q. The cost of frames and assembly is $2,000 per cycle. Monthly demand for cycles is given by the demand equation P = 10,000 – 25 q.
