Consider the extraction of oil from a well. Let x(t) be the rate of extraction in barrels per day and p(t) the price in dollars per barrel at time t. Then R(t) = pt)x(t) is the revenue in dollars per day. Find an expression for Rt), and give it an economic interpretation in the case when p() and x(1) are both increasing. (Hint: R(t) increases for two reasons...)
Revenue earned can be defined as the product of price per unit and the number of units sold.
In this case Revenue can be calculated as :
Revenue = Rate of extraction in barrels per day * Price in dollars per barrel at time t
So, R(t) = p(t)*x(t)
Revenue increases in two cases :
i) When the rate of extraction in barrels per day increases, or
ii) Price in dollars per barrel at time time t increases.
So, Revenue increases, either when the rate of extraction increases or price in dollars increases or both increases.

(2 points) An oil company discovered an oil reserve of 130 million barrels. For time t > 0, in years, the company's extraction plan is a linear declining function of time as follows: where q(t) is the rate of extraction of oil in millions of barrels per year at time t and b 0.05 and a -14. (a) How long does it take to exhaust the entire reserve? time years (b) The oil price is a constant 30...
Let r(t) be the rate at which the world's oil is consumed, where t is measured in years starting at t = 0 on January 1, 2000, and r(t) is measured in barrels per year. Explain in words what does the integral 20 r(t)dt represent. Answer:
The following graph shows the domestic market for oil in the United States, where Sp is the domestic supply curve, and Dp is the domestic demand curve. Assume the United States is considered a large nation, meaning that changes in the quantity of its imports due to a tariff influence the world price of oil. Under free trade, the United States faced a total supply schedule of SD+w, which shows the quantity of oil that both domestic and foreign producers...
You are a Logistics manager for VKT Corp., and energy extraction and production company. A oil well in the company's portfolio is generating 10,000 barrels of crude oil per day in excess o present sale commitments. The crude oil can be sold as is on the commodities markets, or refined and converted into other products which may be sold for higher prices, and potential be worth more. You have been assigned to determine the company's best course of action. Prepare...

10. Consider the basis for P, »{1,x,x+,x"}. Let T be a transformation T:P, , where T(x*)= *t* dt. Find a standard matrix for this transformation. (Hint: You may need to review calculus and think about how P. polynomials can be represented as R"+1 vectors. n
(a) Suppose that the function giving the marginal cost, in dollars per gallon, when x gallons oil are made is (eq. 1) and the fixed cost (giving the cost when no barrels of oil are made) is $80. Find a function that would give the total cost, C (x), in dollars when x gallons of oil are made in the form (eq. 2) What is the value for the coefficient ? (Hint: You may take the derivative of (eq. 2)...
