Q1. A firm faces the following average revenue (demand) curve: P = 100 - 0.01Q where Q is weekly production and P is price, measured in cents per unit. The firm’s cost function is given by C = 50Q + 30,000. Assuming the firm maximizes profits, a. What is the level of production?
A firm's demand and total cost function are given by the expression: P = 20 - Q/2 (1) TC = 0.5Q2 + 36 (2) Where P is price per unit in £ TC = total cost in £ Q is quantity demanded and produced. Find the profit-maximising level of output using the profit function and calculate how much profit is made at this output level.
The price-demand equation for the production of bluetooth speakers is: p = 250 - 1/20x, for 0 is less than or equal to x and x is less than or equal to 5000 where x speakers can be sold at $p per each speaker. The cost to produce x speakers is given as C(x) = 150,000 + 30x, where both C(x) and p are represented in dollars ($). - find the profit function and the marginal profit and interpret the quantity P'(4500) - find the marginal cost and interpret the quantity C'(3000) - find the revenue function and the marginal revenue and interpret the quantity R'(3000)
A firm faces the following average revenue (demand) curve: P = 100 - 0.01Q. where Q is weekly production and P is price, measured in cents per unit. The firm’s cost function is given by C = 5Q +2000. Assuming the firm maximizes profits production, determine the price and total profitper week.
The demand function for a firm is; Qd = 122,000 - 500P + 4M +10,000PR where, Qd is quantity demanded, P is price per unit. M is income, and PR the price of a related good. The estimated the valueS of M and PR will be Rs 3200 and Rs 4, respectively. The firm's estimated average variable coSt function IS; AVC = 500 - 0.03Q + 0.000001Q2 a. Find the profit maximizing level of output of the firm and the price to charge. b. Should the manager continue production or shut down? Explain your answer. c. Find the level of output at which the average variable cost is at its minimum.
A competitive firm sells its product at a price of $0.10 per unit. Its total and marginal cost functions are: TC = 5 - 0.5Q + 0.001Q2 where TC is total cost ($) and Q is output rate (units per time period). a] Determine the output rate that maximizes profit or minimizes losses in the short term.
Marginal Cost is equal to Marginal Revenue when Price= $13 and Quantity= 350, which is the profit-maximizing price.
A store can sell 12 telephone answering machines per day at a price of $200 each.. The manager estimate that for each $10 price reduction she can sell 2 more per day. The answering machines cost the store $80 each. Find the price and the quantity sold per day to maximize the companys profit. Let x be the number of $10 dollar price reductions. Find in this order the following functions: n(X)= number of items sold the price function p(x) the cost function C(x) the revenue function R(x) and the profit function P(x) Then maximize the profit function.
Define Q to be the level of output produced and sold and assume that the firm’s cost function is given by the relationship: TC = 20 + 5Q+Q2. Furthermore, assume that the demand for the output of the firm is a function of price P given by the relationship: Q=25− P a)Define total profit as the difference between total revenue and total cost and express in terms of Q the total profit function for the firm. Note: Total revenue equals price per unit times the number of units sold. b)Determine the output level where total p rofits are maximized. c)Calculate total profits and selling price at the profit-maximizing output level. d) If fixed costs increase from $20 to $25 in the total cost relationship, determine the effects of such an increase on the profit-maximizing output level and total profits. Use the cost and demand functions in Exercise 5 to calculate the following: e)Determine the marginal revenue and marginal cost functions. f) Show that, at the profit-maximizing output level…

Bitcom, a manufacturer of electronics, estimates the following relation between marginal cost of production and monthly output: MC= $150+ 0.005Q What does this function imply about the effect of the law of diminishing returns on Bitcom’s short-run cost function? Calculate the marginal cost of production at 1,500, 2,000, and 3,500 units of output. Assume Bitcom operates as a price taker in a competitive market. What is this firm’s profit-maximizing level of output if the market price is $175? Compute Bitcom’s short-run supply curve for its product. Provide a 100 word summary of how this can be applied to the current economy. Show Calculations and can it be done in Excel?
