If total fixed cost is GH¢80 and average variable cost per unit function is 3? −51+325/Q, where Q is number of tooth paste produced and P is the price per tooth paste (in GH¢).What is the total profit at the profit maximizing level of output, and what is the best pricing policyoption?ABC Company Limited is a new business established to produce tables (in units). The demand function for tables is given as 4? = 35 − 0.5?. It has been estimated that the total fixed cost is GH¢80 and average variable cost function is 3? − 51 + 320, where Q is number of tables produced ? and P is the price per table (in GH¢). Given this information, what is the total profit at the profit maximizing level of output, and what is the best pricing policy option?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)
