c) A firm's profit function for a certain product is given as pi(P) = P^3(frac{1}{w_1} + frac{1}{w_2}). The product sells at Tshs 10 per unit. The prices of inputs 1 and 2 are Tshs 50 and Tshs 100 respectively i. Find the level of the output that will maximize profit (4 Marks) ii. Determine the optimal levels of factor use which maximize profit (4 Marks)

Step 1
However, the question seems to be slightly misphrased since it asks for the level of output that maximizes profit, which typically would require a cost or production function rather than a profit function directly dependent on price per unit. Given the Show more…

A manufacturer can produce at most 130 units of a certain product each year. The demand equation for the product is p = q^2 - 100q + 4200 and the manufacturer's average-cost function is c_bar = (2/3)q^2 - 35q + 15,000/q. Determine the profit-maximizing output q and the corresponding maximum profit. The profit-maximizing output q is . The maximum profit that corresponds to the profit-maximizing output is $ . (Round to the nearest cent as needed.)

For the cost and price functions below, find (a) the number, q, of units that produces maximum profit; (b) the price, p, in dollars per unit that produces maximum profit; and (c) the maximum profit, P, in dollars. C(q) = 100 + 10qe^(-0.01q); p = 50e^(-0.01q)
