Suppose that the cost required for a company to produce r units of its product is a linear function given y a fixed cost of $90 and a variable cost of $5 per unit produced. Each unit sells at $8 per unit. (a) Find the profit function, and then use this function to find the number of units (r) that must be sold to break even. (b) Suppose the supply and demand equations are given as: 0.2x – p = 0 0.3r +p - 5 = 0 Determine the equilibrium point (x, p) for this pair of equations.

) A company manufacturing laundry sinks has fixed costs of $100 per day but has totalcosts of $2,500 per day when producing 15 sinks. The company has a daily demand functionof q = 360 − p, where q is the number if laundry sinks demanded and p is te price ofa laundry sink. Find a function for the average cost of this company. (c) If production increases continuously, what is likely to be the average cost per sink? (d) How many laundry sinks will the company need to produce in order to maximise it′s profits? (e) What is the maximum profit?
Given Cost and Price (demand) functions C(q) = 110q + 45000 and p(q) = - 2.8q + 800, what profit can be earned if the price is set to be $550 per item? U The profit is $ 1,?9 (Round to the nearest cent.) A company produces a special new type of TV. The company has fixed costs of $499,000, and it costs STT00 to produce each TV. The company projects that if it charges a price of $2300 for the TV, it will be able to sell 850 TVs. If the company wants to sell 900 TVs, however, it must lower the price to $2000. Assumo a linear demand. What is the marginal profit if 200 TVs are produced It is $ 0 per item. (Round answer to nearest dollar.)
A local company is planning to manufacture and market a four-slice toaster. For this toaster, the research department’s estimates are aweekly demand of 300 toasters at a price of $25 per toaster and a weekly demand of 400 toasters at a price of $20. The financial department’s estimates are fixed weekly costs of$5,000 and variable costs of $5 per toaster. a) Assume that the relationship between price ? and demand ? is linear. Use the research department’s estimates to express ? as a function of ? and determine the domain of the function. b) Using your knowledge from Finite Math, determine the Revenue function in terms of ?. c) Determine the Marginal Revenue at 2 different production levels for example 250 and 500 units. Interpret these results. (HINT: Consider what a positive or negative first derivative implies) d) Assume that the cost function is linear. Use the financial department’s estimates to express the cost function interms of ?. e) Determinethe Marginal costand interpret the…

Let the demand function for a product be given by the function D(q) = - 1.3q + 290, where q is the quantity of items in demand and D(q) is the price per item, in dollars, that can be charged when q units are sold. Suppose fixed costs of production for this item are $5, 000 and variable costs are $9 per item produced. If 192 items are produced and sold, find the following: A) The total revenue from selling 192 items (to the nearest penny). Answer: $ B) The total costs to produce 192 items (to the nearest penny). Answer: $ C) The total profits to produce 192 items (to the nearest penny. Profits may or may not be negative.). Answer: $
A local newspaper currently has 84,000 subscribers at a quarterly charge of $30.Market research has suggested that if the owners raise the price to $32, they wouldlose 5,000 subscribers.

Road Runner Co is a Pakistani manufacturer making Bicycles. It exports to two markets,Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Demand for Bicycles in thesetwo markets is given by the following Functions: Bangladesh Q1 = 12 – P1Sri Lanka Q2 = 8 – P2 Where Q1 and Q2 are respective quantities sold (in thousands) andP1 and P2 are the respective prices (in Pak. Rupees per unit) in the two markets. Total cost function is C = 5 + 2 (Q1+ Q2) Required. Determine the company’s total profit function. Also, (i) What are the profit maximizing levels of price and output for the two markets? (ii) Calculate the marginal revenues in each market.? 2. Now consider two cases: (i) Company is effectively able to price discriminate in the two markets. What will be the total profits? (ii) Suppose the company does not engage in price discrimination.
