Answer:

The maximum revenue is $1,20,125 that occurs when the unit price is $155.

Step-by-step explanation:

The revenue function is given as:

R(p) = -5p^2 + 1550p

where p is unit price in dollars.

First, we differentiate R(p) with respect to p, to get,

\dfrac{d(R(p))}{dp} = \dfrac{d(-5p^2 + 1550p)}{dp} = -10p + 1550

Equating the first derivative to zero, we get,

\dfrac{d(R(p))}{dp} = 0\\\\-10p + 1550 = 0\\\\p = \dfrac{-1550}{-10} = 155

Again differentiation R(p), with respect to p, we get,

\dfrac{d^2(R(p))}{dp^2} = -10

At p = 155

\dfrac{d^2(R(p))}{dp^2} < 0

Thus by double derivative test, maxima occurs at p = 155 for R(p).

Thus, maximum revenue occurs when p = $155.

Maximum revenue

R(155) = -5(155)^2 + 1550(155) = 120125

Thus, maximum revenue is $120125 that occurs when the unit price is $155.
