A firm sells each unit of a product for $50. The total cost of producing x (thousand) units is described by the function C(x) = 50 - 7.5x^2 + x^3 Where C(x) is measured in thousands of dollars. (a) Use the marginal approach to determine the profit-maximizing level of output. (b) What is total revenue at this level of output? Total cost? Total profit?

A firm sells each unit of a product for $250. The cost function, which describes the total cost C as a function of the number of units produced and sold x, is C(x) = 50x + 0.1x^2 + 150. (a) Formulate the profit function P = f(x). (b) How many units should be produced and sold in order to maximize total profit? (c) What is the total revenue at this level of output? (d) What is the total cost at this level of output? (e) Re-solve the above question using the marginal approach.

Suppose that the marginal cost for x units of a product is MC = 4x + 50 and the cost of production is $1000 at a sale of 10 units. The marginal revenue is MR = 500. Find: a) The cost function, C(x). b) The revenue function, R(x). c) The profit function, P(x). d) The optimal level of production.
