1. The Structure of Linear Models
The general expression for a straight line:
y=a+bx y and x: dependent /independent variables of int
erest a and b: constants, coefficients, parameters
a: Intercept--- y=a+b(0)=ab: Slope (Gradient)
b=the change in y/unit change in x
=y/ x

Example: y=3+2x Intercept: a=3 Slope: b=y/ x=2
Shifts of a straight line Changes in the intercept
y=7+2xy=-2+2x
Changes in the slopey=3+5xy=3+1x

Two fundamental types of shifts of straight line: Parallel shift: changes in the intercept Pivotal shift: changes in the slope

Break Even Analysis
A company/firm: Make a single product Capacity: 150 Price: 20 Fixed cost: 500 Variable cost: 15 Find Break-Even Point

Production Potential 0-150 units
Revenue Consideration Total Revenue(TR)
TR=pq p ----selling price/unit q ----quantity sold Example: TR=0+20q (comparison with y=a+bx)
Average Revenue(AR)AR=TR/q=pq/q=p

Marginal Revenue(MR)MR=(the changes in TR)/(a unit changes in q)=
= TR/ q
Cost Considerations Fixed Cost(FC)
Irrespective of how many units of output are produced: annual rental charges, management cost,..
Total Variable Cost(TVC)TVC=VCqVC: variable cost per unit: labour/material paym

Total Cost(TC) TC=Fixed Cost +Total Variable Cost
=FC+VCq Example: TC=500+15q
(compared with y=a+bx)
Average Cost(AV) AV=TC/q
Marginal Cost(MC) MC= TC/ q

The rule to write the system of linear equations:
The unknowns have been written in a specific , consistent order in each equation
All terms involving unknowns have been taken to the Left Hand Side (LHS) of each equation
All constants are taken to the Right Hand Side (RHS) of each equation
The coefficients of each unknown are carefully identified in each equations, including 0 and 1
