The equation of the profit of a certain business is P = A - B where A is the income obtained from selling a product expressed in terms of thousand demand of product (D): A=D^3 - 3D +4. B is the cost of production expressed in terms of thousand demand(D): B=D^2-1. What demand will maximize the profit?

The cost per unit of producing a product is 280 + 0.2x dollars, where x represents the number of units produced per week. If the equilibrium price determined by a competitive market is $420, how many units should the firm produce and sell each week to maximize its profit? unit
The management of Thermomaster Company, has estimated that the total weekly cost (in dollars) for producing x thermometers is C(x) = 8000 + 5x dollars per year. Find the average cost function C
A strawberry farmer will receive $36 per bushel of strawberries during the first week of harvesting. Each week after that, the value will drop $0.90 per bushel. The farmer estimates that there are approximately 120 bushels of strawberries in the fields, and that the crop is increasing at a rate of four bushels per week. When should the farmer harvest the strawberries (in weeks) to maximize their value? (Assume that "during the first week of harvesting" here means week 1.) how many bushels of strawberries will yield the maximum value? what is the maximum value of the strawberries in dollars?

A manufacturing process has a total cost function given by the equation C = 10 + 4x and a total revenue function given by the equation R = 22x - 4x2 where x is the quantity produced in ’00 units and C and R , are both N$’00. i. Using the cost equation, C = 10 + 4x, identify the value of the company’s fixedcosts (i.e. those that remain constant irrespective of the quantity produced) andvariable costs (i.e. those that vary according to production) for thismanufacturing process. ii. Construct a table to calculate the value of C and R using the values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4and 5 for x. iii. (Using the data from the table in (ii), plot a fully labelled graph for C and Ragainst x. Use the graph drawn in (iii) to determine:iv. The quantity of units produced where the manufacturing process breaks even(i.e. where neither a profit nor a loss is made). v.
