Step 1
The profit function is given by P(x) = R(x) - C(x), where R(x) is the revenue function and C(x) is the cost function. Given: R(x) = 35x C(x) = 2200 + 15x + 0.01x^2 Substitute the given revenue and cost functions into the profit function: P(x) = 35x - (2200 + 15x Show more…

Cost, revenue, and profit are in dollars and x is the number of units. Suppose that the total revenue function for a product is R(x) = 50x and that the total cost function is C(x) = 2100 + 30x + 0.01x^2. (a) Find the profit from the production and sale of 500 units. (b) Find the marginal profit function. (c) Find MP at x = 500. Explain what it predicts. The total profit will ---Select--- by approximately $ on the sale of the next (501st) unit. (d) Find P(501) - P(500). Explain what this value represents. This is the total profit for 501 units. This is the total cost of 501 units. This is the actual profit on the sale of the 501st unit. This is the actual revenue on the sale of the 501st unit. This is the actual cost of the 501st unit.

Cost, Revenue, and Profit The revenue and cost equations for a product are $R=x(75-0.0005 x)$ and $C=30 x+250,000,$ where $R$ and $C$ are measured in dollars and $x$ represents the number of units sold. How many units must be sold to obtain a profit of at least $\$ 750,000 ?$ What is the price per unit?
