It is known that the demand function for a good is shown by the equation P = - 5Q + 110 and the total cost of production is C = 100 + 10Q + 5Q². Calculate the maximum profit rate of sales, the amount of profit and the selling price per unit.
There is a firm making custom stuffed animals. The demand function for custom stuffed animals is: P = 1000 - 20Q The cost depends on how much of each of their inputs they use. It takes 3 inputs to make a stuffed animal: cotton, oil, and chorizo. The amount required, input prices, and restrictions are below: It takes 1 pound of cotton to make a stuffed animal. Cotton costs $20 per pound. They can buy up to 23 pounds of cotton. It takes 2 barrels of oil to make a stuffed animal. Oil costs $10 per barrel. They can buy up to 44 barrels of oil. It takes 3 chorizo burritos to make a stuffed animal. Burritos cost $5 per burrito. They can buy up to 100 burritos. Set this up in Solver to help them maximize profit by choosing the best quantity of stuffed animals to produce, subject to the constraints of the maximum amount of cotton/oil/burritos they can buy. In the space below, tell the profit that the firm will earn when they maximize its profit. PLEASE SHOW EXCEL WALKTHROUGH USING SOLVER.…
