A firm has a linear demand function for its product. When the price of the product isSh.220, the quantity demanded is 40 units. When the price increases to Sh.240, thequantity demanded becomes 30 units. In addition, the firm’s marginal cost function isgiven by:MC = 40q – 2q2 + 2Fixed cost = Sh.5 millionWhere q = quantity demanded, MC = marginal cost (Sh. million)Evaluate the level of output that maximizes profits.
Can you help with this question and show all the step please. Consider a manufacturer making leather cases with a market demand function (weekly) given by P=95-Q/Q+1 +5, where Q is the number of leather cases. (A) Show that this function is consistent with the law of Demand (i.e. that when Q increases, P decreases). (B) The manufacturer has weekly fixed costs of $20 and variable costs of $5 per leather case. Formulate the profit function from this information. (C) Locate the stationary points and determine the optimal Q that maximises the profit. (Use the first derivatives test to classify any stationary point).
The demand and total profit function, P(x) for rooms in a hotel are given as follows. 3x = 600 - P P(x) = 450x – 3.5x2 - 4000 Where p is the price in ringgit per room and x is the quantity of room rented. Determine the marginal cost when 2 rooms are rented
A company manufacturing laundry sinks has fixed costs of $100 per day but has total costs of $2,500 per day when producing 15 sinks. The company has a daily demand function of q = 360 − p, where q is the number if laundry sinks demanded and p is te price of a laundry sink. (d) How many laundry sinks will the company need to produce in order to maximise it′s profits?
Bavarian Crystal Works designs and produces crystal wine decanters for export to international markets. The marketing manager of Bavarian Crystal Works estimates the demand curve for each month to be: P=1,000-0.0025Q Where Q is the number of wine decanters produced monthly. Bavarian Crystal Works also pays a lease for its factory and equipment every month in the amount of $1,000,000. Finally, the cost to produce each wine decanter is $200. What quantity would maximize profits? What is the optimal price for Bavarian Crystals to charge?
A firm has a linear demand function for it's product.When the price of the product is sh.20,the quantity demanded is 40 units.When the price increases to sh.240 the quantity demanded becomes 30 units.In addition,the firm's marginal cost function is giving by: Mc = 40q- 2q^2+2 Fixed cost = 5 million Where q= quantity demanded,Mc = marginal cost(sh.million) Required 1.The level of output that maximises profits 2.The maximum profit 3.The price of the product at the maximum profit
A price-taking firm in a competitive industry of a good that is continuously divisible (like sand) has a total cost function TC(Q) = 3.5Q^2 + 100Q + 500.

Caustic sodaSuppose that demand for caustic soda in Freedonia is given by D(P) = 10000 - 2P, where the quantity demanded is measured in units per year and the price P is in $ per unit. The market for caustic soda in Freedonia is perfectly competitive and consists of many price-taking firms each operating an identical plant. Caustic soda production requires chlorine which all plants must buy from a monopolist named Freedonia Chlorine Corporation (FCC). FCC can produce chlorine at zero marginal cost and has no fixed costs. Producing one unit of caustic soda requires one unit of chlorine and FCC charges a price of PC per unit of chlorine. Caustic soda plants have constant marginal cost which is MC = $(PC + 1000). (For example, if PC = $200 then each plant has MC = $1200.) Suppose caustic soda firms have no fixed costs and there are no capacity constraints in the market. a. Suppose a new market opportunity opens up and FCC can now sell chlorine in Baldonia as a monopolist. Demand…
