HINT [See Example 2.] R'(x) = P'(x) = (b) Compute the revenue and profit, and also the marginal revenue and profit, if you have produced and sold 500 copies of the latest edition. revenue $ profit $ marginal revenue $ per additional copy marginal profit $ per additional copy Interpret the results. The approximate from the sale of the 501st copy is $ . (c) For which value of x is the marginal profit zero?x = copiesInterpret your answer. The graph of the profit function is a parabola with a vertex at x = , so the profit is at a maximum when you produce and sell copies.
Only typed answer and please don't use chatgpt A firm faces the following average revenue (demand) curve: P = 120 – 0.02Q where Q is weekly production and P is price, measured in cents per unit. The firm’s cost function is given by C = 60Q + 25,000. Assume that the firm maximizes profits. What is the level of production, price, and total profit per week?
Suppose demand is Q = 10000 - 1000P and marginal cost is constant at MC=6. From the given demand curve, one can compute the following marginal revenue curve: MR = 10 - Q/500 a. Graph the demand, marginal cost, and marginal revenue curves show full and complete calculations for each.

3. The components of marginal revenueJabari's HookNLadder is the only company selling fire engines in the fictional country of Alexandrina. Jabari initially produced eight trucks, but then decided to increase production to nine trucks. The following graph gives the demand curve faced by Jabari’s HookNLadder. As the graph shows, in order to sell the additional fire truck, Jabari must lower the price from $80,000 to $60,000 per truck. Notice that Jabari gains revenue from the sale of the additional engine, but at the same time, he loses revenue from the initial eight engines because they are all sold at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial eight engines by selling at $60,000 rather than $80,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $60,000. 3.
