Question

Suppose the demand for a product X produced by a company AAA is given by the following function: QX = 2000 - 250*PX. At what price per item of the product X (EUR) can this copmany maximize its total revenues? Fill in the Table gaps:

Demand function Price function Total Revenue (EUR) Marginal Revenue (EUR) Quantity Price per product (EUR)
Q = 2000 - 250P P = ? TR = Q*P MR = dTR/dQ = 0 Q = ? P = (2000 - Q)/250
  250P = 2000 - Q TR = Q*(2000 - Q)/250 MR = 8 - 2*Q/250 Q/125 = 8 P = (2000 - 1000)/250
  P = (2000 - Q)/250 TR = 8*Q - Q^2/250 8 - Q/125 = 0 Q = 1000 P = 4
           
           
Alternative solution Demand function Total Revenue (EUR) Marginal Revenue (EUR) Price per product (EUR)  
  Q = 2000 - 250P TR = Q*P MR = dTR/dP = 0 2000 - 500*P = 0  
    TR = (2000 - 250P)*P MR = 2000 - 2*250*P 500*P = 2000  
    TR = 2000P - 250P^2 MR = 2000 - 500*P P = 4
