KK ltd produces goods for sale. From trend analysis the management accountant established a demand function of the product to be P=40−1.5q, where P is the unit selling price and q is the quantity in thousands. The enterprise has been producing under the cost TC=q2+10q+50, where TC is the total cost in thousands of cedis. Required 1. What is the optimal price to maximize profit? 2. Determine the maximum profit and the sale revenue at this point.

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?

James mainly sells confectionery items, newspapers, magazines and cigarettes in his convenience store. Noting his small business is not thriving, he thought of selling hot pies and rolls too. Suppose the total cost function for rolls and pies is, TC = 900 + 50Q, Q = Q1 + Q2 Where Q1 and Q2denote the quantities of rolls and pies respectfully. If P1 and P2 denote the corresponding prices, the inverse demand equations are. Q1 = 70 - P1 and 0.5Q2 = 100 - P2 a)If James decides to make a total of 48 rolls and pies per day and charges different prices as above (that is, P1 ≠ P2 ), how many of rolls and pies each should he make in order to maximize the profit of a particular day? Estimate and interpret the Lagrange Multiplier λ [note: assume second-order conditions are satisfied]. b)Using your knowledge of input-output tables, explain which components of the economy will be affected if all convenience stores, including James’, closed down for three months due to the COVID-19.
