What is the condition for profit maximization for a pure competitive firm?

Business
1 answer:
Reika [66]3 years ago

I believe this needs to come from a non monetary source. Pure competition allows for no price change between firms. So profit maximization needs to come from market share. I believe the answer would have to be in service levels or ease of business improvements. If you are forced to have the same price levels the levers to pull are few but the exist only customer service, ease of transacting, other value add initiatives. Just my thoughts

The quantity demanded x for a product is inversely proportional to the cube of the price p for p &gt; 1. When the price is $10 p
Delvig [45]

Answer:

$6.00

Explanation:

Given data

quantity demanded ( x )  ∝ 1 / p^3       for p > 1

when p = $10/unit , x = 64

initial cost = $140, cost per unit = $4

<u>Determine the price that will yield a maximum profit </u>

x = k/p^3 ----- ( 1 ).  when x = 64 , p = $10 , k = constant

64 = k/10^3

k = 64 * ( 10^3 )

  = 64000

back to equation 1

x = 64000 / p^3

∴ p = 40 / ∛x

next calculate the value of revenue generated

Revenue(Rx) = P(price ) * x ( quantity )

               = 40 / ∛x * x   =  40 x^2/3

next calculate Total cost of product

C(x) = 140 + 4x

Maximum Profit  generated = R(x) - C(x) = 0

                                              = 40x^2/3 - 140 + 4x  = 0

                                              =  40(2/3) x^(2/3 -1) - 0 - 4 = 0

                                            ∴ ∛x = 20/3    ∴     x = (20/3 ) ^3 = 296

profit is maximum at x(quantity demanded ) = 296 units

hence the price that will yield a maximum profit

P = 40 / ∛x

  = ( 40 / (20/3) )  = $6
