Marginal-Revenue Product A monopolist who employs m workers finds that they produce q = 2m(2m + 1)^3/2 units of product per day. The total revenue r (in dollars) is given by r = 50q / sqrt(1000 + 3q). (a) What is the price per unit (to the nearest cent) when there are 12 workers? (b) Determine the marginal revenue when there are 12 workers. (c) Determine the marginal-revenue product when m = 12.
