Best Orange Juice Company is located in Oman. The cost function for total orange juice production (x) is given by C(q)=0.25x2. Their orange juice is demanded only in Muscat (Muscat demand is 100-2P) and Salalah (Salalah demand is 100-4P). Therefore, the total demand is x-x+x. If the company can control the quantities supplied to each market, how many should it sell in each location to maximize total profits? What price would it charge in each location?

Best Orange Juice Company is located in Oman. The cost function for total orange juice production (x) is given by C(q) = 0.25x2. Their orange juice is demanded only in Muscat (Muscat demand is xm= 100-2Pm) and Salalah (Salalah demand is xs= 100-4Ps). Therefore, the total demand is x=xm+ xs. If the company can control the quantities supplied to each market, how many should it sell in each location to maximize total profits? What price would it charge in each location?
The market demand and supply functions for a type of carpet known as KP-7 have been estimated, respectively, as: QD = 160 – 6P, QS = – 100 + 20P. where P is the price (dollars per yard) and Q is the rate of sales (hundreds of yards per month). A typical firm in this market has a total cost function given as: TC = 100 – 22q + 2q2, where q is the firm’s output level. The optimal amount to produce for the typical firm is q =
Market research for a certain ice cream company indicates that if the price per cup of ice cream is P50.00, the demand will be 1200 cups, whereas if the price is increased to P60.00, the demand will be 1100 cups. Therefore, at a production level of 200 cups of ice cream, the revenue generated by the company would be $130 for each additional cup of ice cream produced. Now, suppose it is known that the total cost of production of x cups of ice cream is given by C(x) = 3x + 25,500. (a) Find the value(s) of x at the break-even points. (b) Use marginal analysis to approximate the profit from the sale of the 500th cup of ice cream. Compare this value with the exact profit from the sale of the 500th cup.
The demand function for small high-definition televisions is given by p = 9,000 − 55x, where p is the price, in dollars, that x televisions can be sold. The cost function (in dollars) to produce televisions is C = 3,500x + 2,000. (Simplify your answers completely.) (a)Find the revenue function, R. R = (b)Find the profit function, P. P = (c)Find how many televisions should be sold to maximize profit. televisions (d)What is the maximum profit (in dollars)? $
The daily cost to manufacture generic trinkets for gullible tourists is given by the cost function C(x) = −0.001x2 + 0.3x + 500 dollars where x is the number of trinkets. a. As x increases, the marginal cost(A) increases (B) decreases (C) increases, then decreases. (D) decreases, then increases. b. As x increases, the average cost(A) increases (B) decreases (C) increases, then decreases. (D) decreases, then increases. c. The marginal cost is(A) greater than (B) equal to (C) less than the average cost when x = 100.
A company manufacturing laundry sinks has fixed costs of $100 per day but has total costs of $2,500 per day when producing 15 sinks. The company has a daily demand function of q = 360 − p, where q is the number if laundry sinks demanded and p is te price of a laundry sink. (c) If production increases continuously, what is likely to be the average cost per sink?
The FIA Formula 1 World Championship to be held during the 2021 Mexico City Grand Prix has a total cost function equal to CT = Q33 + Q2 + 125Q and an inverse demand function of P = 200−2Q. Now suppose there is a new company managing this event, so the total cost function becomes CT = 4Q. This new company intends to sell at two different prices depending on the place that the spectators occupy at the Hermanos Rodríguez Autodrome. For the Red Zone Boxes. The estimated demand will be q1 = 32−12p1 and for the Green Zone Boxes It will be q2 = 42 − p2. The number of tickets sold for the Red Zone and Green Zone will be: 15; 84 23; 16 15; 19 33; 45
Suppose a company has fixed costs of $53,200 and variable cost per unit of 1/3x + 444 dollars, where x is the total number of units produced.

(Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) x = (b) Find the maximum revenue. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) $ (c) Form the profit function P(x) from the cost and revenue functions. P(x) = Find maximum profit. $ (d) What price will maximize the profit? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) $
The demand function for a type of car is given by p(x) = − 1/5 x+5000. Find the consumers’ surplus if the price per car is set at $4500
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.
– A certain cleaning company cleans professional offices and believes its staff can clean up to 300 office units a week at a labor and supply cost of $58 per unit. Preliminary pricing surveys indicate that if that if the company charges $100 per unit, it will have clients for 300 units. For every $5 price increase it can expect a demand of 10 fewer units. Assume the demand, s, is a linear function of price p. Find an equation for demand as a function of price. Find the Revenue and Cost functions, both of which are dependent on price p. Write the Profit function. Using Desmos, graph the Revenue, Cost, and Profit functions on the same coordinate plane. Label the axes and the functions and use an appropriate scale. Find the break-even points graphically and confirm algebraically. Label the regions of profit and loss on the graph. Algebraically find the price that results in a maximum profit. Conclusion: A price of $_________ results in a quantity of _____________ units…
