The profit of a company, in dollars, is the difference between the company's revenue and cost. The cost, C(x), and revenue, R(x), are functions for a particular company. The x represents the number of items produced and sold to distributors. C(x)=-2300+40x R(x)=840x-x² a) Determine and simplify the profit function. Write your answer in descending order. P(X)-

If MC= 3x + 20 and MR = 44 – 5x where x is the number of units produced and sold, and the cost of production of 80 units is $11,400, find the total cost and the total revenue functions.
A Silicon Valley firm produces an output of microchips denoted by y and has a cost function c(y). Assume that the first and second derivatives of the cost function are strictly positive. Of the chips it produces, a fraction 1 − α are unavoidably defective and cannot be sold. Working chips can be sold at a price p and the microchip market is highly competitive. How will an increase in production quality affect the firm’s profit?

After an analysis of a large number of small businesses with two to nine employees, it was determined that, in a certain market sector, the operating costs C, in thousands of dollars, could be modeled by the function(pic#2)...., where p is the number of employees working for the firm. On the other hand, the realized revenue, R, of a firm could be determined as a function of the operating costs C, where R=(pic#1)... R and C are expressed in thousands of dollars. a) Based on the analysis, what would be the operating costs for a business with three employees? b) What would be the revenue for a company with three employees? c) Determine the equation that would model the realized revenue, R, as a function of the number of employees.
