. An electricity producer has a constant marginal cost of production equal to $40 per megawatt. The residual demand for its electricity is given by P (q) = a−bq, where P is the price and q is the quantity of power generated by this producer. The producer knows the slope, b, but he vertical intercept of the residual demand curve, a is unknown. Assume A and B are greater than zero. If you get stuck, you may answer any of the following questions for special case where a = 80 And b = 0.5 for partial credit. (a) What is the marginal revenue, M R(q), for this producer? b) What is the optimal q for this producer? (c) What is the electricity producer’s optimal price? (d) What is the electricity producer’s optimal bid in a uniform price Auction? e) Suppose b is equal to zero. Would the producer have an incentive to submit a bid above its marginal cost? Explain.
Average and marginal profit Let C(x) represent the cost ofproducing x items and p(x) be the sale price per item if x items aresold. The profit P(x) of selling x items is P(x) = xp(x) - C(x)(revenue minus costs). The average profit per item when x items aresold is P(x)/x and the marginal profit is dP/dx. The marginal profitapproximates the profit obtained by selling one more item, given that x items have already been sold. Consider the following cost functions Cand price functions p.a. Find the profit function P.b. Find the average profit function and the marginal profit function.c. Find the average profit and the marginal profit if x = a units are sold.d. Interpret the meaning of the values obtained in part (c). C(x) = -0.02x2 + 50x + 100, p(x) = 100 - 0.1x, a = 500
