Total revenue is in dollars and x is the number of units. Suppose that in a monopoly market, the demand function for a product is given by p = 440 - 0.3x where x is the number of units and p is the price in dollars. (a) Find the total revenue from the sale of 500 units. $ 145000 (b) Find the marginal revenue MR at 500 units. MR = $ 140 Interpret this value. The 501st unit will bring in |MR| dollars more in revenue. The 501st unit will lose |MR| dollars more in revenue. The 501st unit will lose |MR| hundred dollars more in revenue. The 501st unit will bring in |MR| hundred dollars more in revenue. (c) Is more revenue expected from the 501st unit sold or from the 701st? Explain. The 701st unit will bring in $ more in revenue. Thus the --Select-- unit will bring in more revenue.

Total revenue is in dollars and x is the number of units. Suppose that in a monopoly market, the demand function for a product is given by p = 350 - 0.2x where x is the number of units and p is the price in dollars. (a) Find the total revenue from the sale of 500 units. $ 125000 (b) Find the marginal revenue MR at 500 units. MR = $ 150 Interpret this value. The 501st unit will bring in |MR| dollars more in revenue. (c) Is more revenue expected from the 501st unit sold or from the 701st? Explain. The 701st unit will bring in $ 209.8 more in revenue. Thus the 501st unit will bring in more revenue.

Suppose that the total revenue function for a commodity is R = 31x - 0.01x^2. (a) Find R(100). Tell what it represents. 101 units produce this amount of revenue. The revenue increases by about this amount when the number of units is increased from 100 to 101. 100 units produce this amount of revenue. The actual revenue of the 100th unit is this amount. The revenue decreases by about this amount when the number of units is increased from 100 to 101. (b) Find the marginal revenue function. MR = (c) Find the marginal revenue at x = 100. Tell what it predicts about the sale of the next unit and the next 3 units. The sale of the next unit will ---Select--- the revenue by about $ The sale of the next 3 units will ---Select--- the revenue by about $ (d) Find R(101) - R(100). Explain what this value represents. marginal revenue at x = 100 actual revenue from the 100th unit actual revenue from 100 units actual revenue from 101 units actual revenue from the 101st unit.

Total revenue is in dollars and x is the number of units. Suppose that in a monopoly market, the demand function for a product is given by p = 480 - 0.3x where x is the number of units and p is the price in dollars. (a) Find the total revenue from the sale of 500 units. $ (b) Find the marginal revenue MR at 500 units. MR = $ Interpret this value. The 501st unit will lose |MR| hundred dollars more in revenue. The 501st unit will bring in |MR| hundred dollars more in revenue. The 501st unit will bring in |MR| dollars more in revenue. The 501st unit will lose |MR| dollars more in revenue. (c) Is more revenue expected from the 501st unit sold or from the 701st? Explain. The 701st unit will bring in $ more in revenue.
