Exercise 5 The curve S represents the revenue, in dollars, of an agrobusiness as a function...
A company's revenue, in dollars, as a function of a quantity q is given by R(q) = 909 - 39" 1. Find the marginal revenue function and use it to find the production level that will maximize revenue. (Select] 2. What is the maximum revenue? (Select] Previous
Because the derivative of a function represents both the slope of the tangent to the curve and the instantaneous rate of change of the function, it is possible to use information about one to gain information about the other. Consider the graph of the function y = f(x) given in the figure. (a) Over what interval(s) (a) through (d) is the rate of change of f(x) positive? (Select all that apply.) OOOO (b) Over what interval(s) (a) through (d) is...
Graphs of the cost C(x), revenue R(x) and the profit P(x), in thousands of dollars, are shown, where x is the number of thousands of items produced. (a) Use the graph to find the formula for the revenue R(x). (b) The profit is given by P(x) = – x2 + 15x² - 27x- 50. What is the formula for the cost function C(x)? (c) Report the fixed costs. (d) Report the minimum marginal cost. (e) What is the largest profit...

Find the profit function. b. Find the number of units that gives maximum profit. c. Find the maximum possible profit.
DETAILS HARMATHAPBR1 9.9.008. Cost, revenue, and profit are in dollars and x is the number of units. Suppose that the total revenue function for a product is R(x) = 55x and that the total cost function is c(X) - 1700 + 35x + 0.01x2. (a) Find the profit from the production and sale of 500 units. $ (b) Find the marginal profit function. (c) Find MP at x = 500. on the sale of the next (501st) unit. Explain what...

The total revenue function for a certain product is given by R=630x dollars, and the total cost function for this product is C = 10,000+ 30x + x2 dollars, where x is the number of units of the product that are produced and sold. a. Find the profit function. b. Find the number of units that gives maximum profit. c. Find the maximum possible profit. a. P(x)= (Simplify your...
linear revenue function is R = 34x. (Assume R is measured in dollars.) (a) What is the slope m? m = (b) What is the marginal revenue MR? MR = What does the marginal revenue mean? 0 If the number of units sold is increased by this amount, the revenue decreases by O If the number of units sold is increased by this amount, the revenue increases by O Each additional unit sold decreases the revenue by this many dollars....
Exercise 2. A monopolist faces the following demand curve: Q 10,000 100P Where Q is the weekly production and P is the price, measured in S/unit. The firm's cost function is given by C 50Q 30,000. Assuming the firm maximizes profits a. Find the equation describing the marginal revenue curve b. What is the level of production, price, and total profit per week? c. If the government decides to levy a tax of 10 $/unit on this product, what will...
