- Sales A soft-drink vendor at a popular beach analyzes his sales records and find that if he sells x cans of soda pop in one day, his profit (in dollars) is given by P(x)=0.001x2+3x1800 What is his maximum profit per day, and how many cans must he sell for maximum profit?arrow_forwardMaximum Profit The profit P (in hundreds of dollars) that a company makes depends on the amount x (in hundreds of dollars) the company spends on advertising according to the model P=230+20x0.5x2. What expenditure for advertising yields a maximum profit?arrow_forwardSuppose that the price per unit in dollars ofa cell phone production is modeled by p=450.0125x, where x is in thousands ofphones produced, and the revenue represented by thousands of dollars is R=xp. Find theproduction level that will maximize revenue.arrow_forward
- Size of High Schools The farm population has declined dramatically in the years since World War II, and with that decline, rural school districts have been faced with consolidating in order to be economically efficient. One researcher studied data from the early 1960s on expenditures for high schools ranging from 150 to 2400 in enrollment. He considered the cost per pupil as a function of the number of pupils enrolled in the high school, and he found the approximate formula C=7430.402n+0.00012n2 where n is the number of pupils enrolled and C is the cost, in dollars, per pupil. a. Make a graph of C versus n. b. What enrollment size gives a minimum per-pupil cost? c. If a high school had an enrollment of 1200, how much in per-pupil cost would be saved by increasing enrollment to the optimal size found in part b?arrow_forwardDigital cameras A company that produces and sells digital cameras has determined that the total weekly cost C of producing x digital cameras is given by the function C(x)=1.5x2150x+4850. Determine the production level that minimizes the weekly cost for producing the digital cameras and find that weekly minimum cost.arrow_forwardProfit The demand equation for a microwave oven is given by p=1400.0001x, where p is the unit price (in dollars) of the microwave oven and x is the number of units sold. The cost equation for the microwave oven is C=80x+150,000, where C is the total cost (in dollars) and x is the number of units produced. The total profit P obtained by producing and selling x units is modeled by P=xpC. (a) Find the profit function P in terms of x. (b) Find the profit when 250,000 units are sold. (c) Find the unit price when 250,000 units are sold. (d) Find (if possible) the unit price that will yield a profit of 10 million dollars. If not possible, explain why.arrow_forward
