Suppose GetThere Airlines increases their ticket price to $200+10n = 10(20+n)$ dollars. Then the number of tickets they sell is $40,000-1000n = 1000(40-n)$ .<span> Therefore, their total revenue is
</span>
$$10(20+n)\cdot 1000(40-n) = 10000(20+n)(40-n) = 10000(800+20n-n^2).$$
This is maximized when $n=-\left(\frac{20}{2\cdot(-1)}\right)=10$ .<span> Therefore, they should charge </span><span>$200+10\cdot 10 = \boxed{300}$</span><span> dollars per ticket.</span>
Answer:
False
Explanation:
In a competitive market, if production (and consumption) continues until the marginal benefit of one more unit equals marginal cost, then total surplus is maximized.
As for any extra unit produced
Marginal Benefit > Marginal cost = Surplus
Marginal Benefit = Marginal cost = No Surplus / No loss
Marginal Benefit > Marginal cost = loss
When your Marginal benefit is maximum and Marginal cost is minimum then the surplus will be maximized.
Most efficient situation in which benefit is maximum and the cost is minimum results in maximized surplus.
