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

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A heart transplant is a surgical procedure that replaces the person’s heart with a donor heart. A person may require a heart transplant for several reasons including congenital, arterial and muscle diseases or for unforeseen reasons such as accidents or viral infections.

The donor heart is matched to the recipient by blood type. More variables are also used to decide which recipient receives a heart if there are not enough hearts available for all recipients waiting for a transplant. The variables included in the decision may include the recipient state of health, cause of the heart condition and the urgency of the transplant.

The main goal of this project is for you to write a matching function that receives as a parameter the number of available hearts for transplant and will output all the recipients ranked in order of precedence.
