Answer:

P = 38

Q = 95,000

max profit: 2,310,000

Explanation:

cost: 540,000 + 40Q

marginal cost: dC/dQ = 40

based on the current price and sales and the marketing studies we build for the inverse demand function:

Q = aP + b

if P = 70 then, Q =  15,000

if P = 68 then, Q = 20,000

-2P = + 5,000Q

-1P then, 2,500 Q

15,000 = -2,500(70) + b

b = 190,000

so Q = -2,500P + 190,000

revenue; P x Q

P x (-2,500P + 190,000)

-2,500P2 +190,000P

marginal revenue: dR/dQ = -5,000P + 190,000

<u></u>

<u>max profit at MR = MC </u>

40 = 190,000 - 5,000P

189,960 / 5,000 =37.992‬ = 38

Q = -2,500(38) + 190,000 = 95,000

<u></u>

<u>Profit:</u>

(70 - 40) 95,000 - 540,000 = 2,850,000 - 540,000 = 2,310,000

Charity can be regarded as generosity as well as helpfulness towards those that are less privilege or that are needy and cannot raise their voice.

Computation of Present value:

Present\ value = PMT[\frac{1-(1+r)^{-n}}{r} ]\\\\Present\ value = 3,200[\frac{1-(1+0.1)^{-12}}{0.1} ]\\\\Present\ value = 3,200[\frac{1-(1.1)^{-12}}{0.1} ]\\\\Present\ value = 3,200[\frac{1-0.318630818}{0.1} ]\\\\Present\ value = 3,200[\frac{0.681369182}{0.1} ]\\\\Present\ value = 21,803.6188

Present value = $21,804 (approx)

maria [59]

Answer: b. The company did not define its business in terms of the benefits customers seek.

Explanation:

In order for a business to make money, it needs to provide its customers with what they want not what the company wants the customers to want.

In this scenario, people switched to shampoos that could be used by people of all ages instead of just small children because this is what they wanted but not what the company provided. If the company had defined its business in terms of what their customers wanted, they would have made an all age shampoo which would have been bought.
