As a producer and seller of some commodity, you have learned that, if you produce and sell x itmes in a particular month, the following functions can be used to find the cost and revenue: Revenue: R(x)=150x-x^2 and Cost: C(x)=3000+20x. (a) Write a simplified formula for your profit in a particular month, P(x)=R(x)- C(x) (b) Find the "break-even" point(s) (c) How many items should you produce and sell in a month in order to achieve a maximum profit? (d) What is the maximum possible monthly profit? This is the problem and I cannot solve the c and d, could you please help me?

A firm produces two different kinds A and B of a commodity. The daily cost of producing x units of A and y units of B is C(x,y) = 20(x2 + xy + y2). Suppose that the firm sells all its output at a price per unit of 240 for A and 180 for B. Find the daily production levels that maximize profits and confirm that it’s a maximum
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?

Assume quantities need not be integers. Demand in a competitive market is Qd(P)=120 – (4/10)*P. If 20 units are transacted, what is the lowest marginal benefit (i.e., MWTP) at which an item is purchased? Round to two decimal places and do not enter a currency symbol. If your answer is $1.125, enter 1.13.

Based on market research, a film production company in Ectenian obtains the following information about the demand and production costs of its new DVD:Demand: P = 1,000 – 10QTotal Revenue: TR = 1,000Q – 10Q2Marginal Revenue: MR = 1,000 – 20QMarginal Cost: MC = 100 + 10Qwhere Q indicates the number of copies sold and P is the price in Ectenian dollars.d. Suppose, in addition to the costs above, the director of the film has to be paid. The company is considering four options:i. A flat fee of 2,000 Ectenian dollarsii. 50 percent of the profitsiii. 150 Ectenian dollars per unit soldiv. 50 percent of the revenueFor each option, calculate the profit-maximizing price and quantity. Which, if any, of these compensation schemes would alter the deadweight loss from monopoly? Explain
The marketing department of a business has determined that the demand for a product can be modeled by p=2000−10x, where p is the price per unit (in dollars) and x is the number of units. The cost (in dollars) of a producing x units is given by C=2000+500x. What price will yield a maximum profit?
