A bakery finds that the price they can sell cakes is given by the function p = 580 − 10x where x is the number of cakes sold per

day, and p is price. The total cost function of the company is given by c = (30+5x) 2 where x is previously defined, and c is total cost. A. Find the revenue and marginal revenue functions [Hint: revenue is price multiplied by quantity i.E. Revenue = price × quantity] (3 marks) B. Find the fixed cost and marginal cost function [Hint: fixed cost does not change with quantity produced] (3 marks) C. Find the profit function [Hint: profit is revenue minus total cost] (2 marks) D. Find the quantity that maximizes profit (2 marks)

Answer:

A) Revenue function = R(x) = (580x - 10x²)

Marginal Revenue function = (580 - 20x)

B) Fixed Cost = 900

Marginal Cost function = (300 + 50x)

C) Profit function = P(x) = (-35x² + 280x - 900)

D) The quantity that maximizes profit = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The Price function for the cake = p = 580 - 10x

where x = number of cakes sold per day.

The total cost function is given as

C = (30 + 5x)² = (900 + 300x + 25x²)

where x = number of cakes sold per day.

Please note that all the calculations and functions obtained are done on a per day basis.

A) Find the revenue and marginal revenue functions [Hint: revenue is price multiplied by quantity i.e. revenue = price × quantity]

Revenue = R(x) = price × quantity = p × x

= (580 - 10x) × x = (580x - 10x²)

Marginal Revenue = (dR/dx)

= (d/dx) (580x - 10x²)

= (580 - 20x)

B) Find the fixed cost and marginal cost function [Hint: fixed cost does not change with quantity produced]

The total cost function is given as

C = (30 + 5x)² = (900 + 300x + 25x²)

The total cost function is a sum of the fixed cost and the variable cost.

The fixed cost is the unchanging part of the total cost function with changing levels of production (quantity produced), which is the term independent of x.

C(x) = 900 + 300x + 25x²

The only term independent of x is 900.

Hence, the fixed cost = 900

Marginal Cost function = (dC/dx)

= (d/dx) (900 + 300x + 25x²)

= (300 + 50x)

C) Find the profit function [Hint: profit is revenue minus total cost]

Profit = Revenue - Total Cost

Revenue = (580x - 10x²)

Total Cost = (900 + 300x + 25x²)

Profit = P(x)

= (580x - 10x²) - (900 + 300x + 25x²)

= 580x - 10x² - 900 - 300x - 25x²

= 280x - 35x² - 900

= (-35x² + 280x - 900)

D) Find the quantity that maximizes profit

To obtain this, we use differentiation analysis to obtain the maximum point of the Profit function.

At maximum point, (dP/dx) = 0 and (d²P/dx²) < 0

P(x) = (-35x² + 280x - 900)

(dP/dx) = -70x + 280 = 0

70x = 280

x = (280/70) = 4

(d²P/dx²) = -70 < 0

Hence, the point obtained truly corresponds to a maximum point of the profit function, P(x).

This quantity demanded obtained, is the quantity demanded that maximises the Profit function.

Hope this Helps!!!

Rachel bought 3 CDs that were each the same price. Including sales tax, she paid a total of $35.40. Of that total, $2.70 was tax
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total bill - the tax = cost of 3CD's

Our total bill is $35.40, the tax is $2.70, therefore,

35.40 - 2.70 = cost of 3 CD's so

3 CD's = $32.70

Divide that by 3 to get the cost per CD:

32.7 / 3 = $ 10.90 per CD

El ingreso de una empresa de construcción de obras civiles se estima a través del tiempo de acuerdo con la siguiente función I(t
brilliants [131]

Usando conceptos de funciones cuadráticas, se encuentra que:

  • El máximo ingreso será alcanzado en 6 años.
  • El máximo ingreso será de 800 miles de soles.

La función que estimate el tiempo es dada por:

I(t) = -64 + 288t - 24t^2

Que es una función cuadrática con coeficientes a = -24, b = 288, c = -64.

El año en qué se alcanzará el máximo ingreso es el <u>valor de t de el vertice</u>, o sea:

t_V = -\frac{b}{2a} = -\frac{288}{2(-24)} = \frac{288}{48} = 6

El máximo ingreso será alcanzado en 6 años.

El valor del máximo ingreso es el valor de <u>I de el vertice</u>, o sea:

I_v = -\frac{\Delta}{4a} = -\frac{b^2 - 4ac}{4a}

Entonces:

I_v = -\frac{288^2 - 4(-24)(-64)}{4(-24)} = 800

El máximo ingreso será de 800 miles de soles.
