The AAA Aquarium Co. sells aquariums for 20 each. Fixed costs of production are 20. The total variable costs are 20 for one aquarium, 25 for two units, 35 for the three units, 50 for four units, and 80 for five units. In the form of a table, calculate total revenue, marginal revenue, total cost, and marginal cost for each output level (one to five units). What is the Profit-maximizing quantity of output? On one diagram, sketch the total revenue and total cost curves. On another diagram, sketch the marginal revenue and marginal cost curves.
A computer company produces affordable, easy-touse home computer systems and has fixed costs of $250. The marginal cost of producing computers is $700 for the first computer, $250 for the second, $300 for the third, $350 for the fourth, $400 for the fifth, $450 for the sixth, and $500 for the seventh. a. Create a table that shows the company’s output, total cost, marginal cost, average cost, variable cost, and average variable cost. b. At what price is the zero-profit point? At what price is the shutdown point? c. If the company sells the computers for $500, is it making a profit or a loss? How big is the profit or loss?

1. To build the curves of total revenue (TR) and total costs (TC) of the company. 2. To calculate, to fill in the table and to build the curves of marginal revenue (MR) and marginal cost (MC) of the company. 3. To determine graphically the output of the company providing the maximum profit.
The marginal operating cost of each unit of quantityis $5 (since marginal cost is a constant, so is averagevariable cost. Ignore fixed cost). The owners of theamusement park wish to maximize profits.Calculate the price, quantity and profit if:a. The amusement park charges a different price ineach market.b. The amusement park charges the same price inthe two markets combined.
The total revenue curve of a firm is R(q) = 40q − 12q2 and its average cost A(q) =1/30 q2 − 12.85q + 20 + 400/q, where q is the firm's output. i. Is the rate of change of profit increasing or decreasing when theouput level of the firm is 10 units?ii. Determine the level of output for which the firmᇱs profit is maximized.iii. What is the firm's maximum profit?
Christine is the general manager of a local automated car wash. The market she operates in is perfectly competitive.

11.2 Your college newspaper, The Collegiate Investigator, sells for 90¢ per copy. The cost of producing x copies of an edition is given by C(x) = 70 + 0.10x + 0.001x2 dollars. (a) Calculate the marginal revenue R'(x) and profit P'(x) functions. HINT [See Example 2.] R'(x) = P'(x) = (b) Compute the revenue and profit, and also the marginal revenue and profit, if you have produced and sold 500 copies of the latest edition. revenue $ profit $ marginal revenue $ per additional copy marginal profit $ per additional copy Interpret the results. The approximate from the sale of the 501st copy is $ . (c) For which value of x is the marginal profit zero?x = copiesInterpret your answer. The graph of the profit function is a parabola with a vertex at x = , so the profit is at a maximum when you produce and sell copies.
