The table shows the cost to produce q items and the graph shows the revenue from producing q items. Based on these two functions, what is the best estimate for the marginal profit when q = 5? q | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 C(q) | 40 | 50 | 62 | 68 | 70 | 75 | 82 R(q) (10,50) 10 20 30 40 50 q

Step 1
First, we need to find the cost function (C(q)) and the revenue function (R(q)). Since we only have one point for each function, we can't determine the exact functions. However, we can estimate them using the given information. Show more…

Table 2.14 shows the cost, $C(q),$ and revenue, $R(q),$ in terms of quantity $q .$ Estimate the marginal cost. $M C(q)$ and marginal revenue, $M R(q),$ for $q$ between 0 and 6, $$\begin{array}{r|r|r|r|r|r|r}\hline q & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 \\\hline C(q) & 20 & 60 & 120 & 200 & 300 & 420 \\\hline R(q) & 100 & 220 & 330 & 410 & 450 & 480 \\\hline\end{array}$$

Marginal Cost and Revenue
The total revenue function of a good is given by: TR = 0.2Q^3 on 0 ≤ Q ≤ 5 and TR = -4Q^2 + 55Q - 150 on 5 ≤ Q ≤ 10. (a) Sketch a graph of TR against Q on the interval 0 ≤ Q ≤ 10. (b) Find the maximum revenue and the value of Q at which it is achieved. (c) For what value of Q is the marginal revenue a maximum?
