Answer: 15

Explanation:

For profit to be maximized by a monopolist, the marginal revenue and marginal cost must be gotten.

P= 105-3Q

MC= 15

Since total revenue is price × quantity, TR= P×Q = (105-3Q)Q

= 105Q-3Q^2

MR= 105-6Q

Since we've gotten marginal revenue and marginal cost, we equate both together.

MR=MC

105-6Q = 15

6Q = 105-15

6Q=90

Divide both side by 6

6Q/6 = 90/6

Q= 15

The quantity that will maximise profit is 15

Feliz [49]

Answer:

Jennifer is losing purchasing power by 2%.

Explanation:

An increase in prices indicates a decrease in the purchasing power of the consumers. An increase in income means an increase in the purchasing power of the consumers.  

A 5% raise means that Jennifer's income will increase by 5% and so will her purchasing power. But at the same time, a price rise by 7% means that her purchasing power will decrease by 7%.  

This means that overall her purchasing power will decrease by 2%.

x- Number of Yellow cakes

y- Number of Strawberry cakes

Time constrain is given by

2x+3y\leq 450

x\geq 0

y\geq 0

Revenue is given by,

TR= 25x + 35y

At the vertices, revenue is

At (0,0)

TR = $0

At (0,150)

TR = 25(0) + 35(150) = $5,250

At (225,0)

TR = 25(225) + 35(0) = $5,625

Therefore, Revenue is maximum at x=25 and y=0. That is when the firm makes only yellow cakes and no strawberry cakes.
