Step 1
Profit is the difference between total revenue and total cost. Quantity | Total Revenue | Total Cost | Profit ------- | -------- | -------- | -------- 0 | 0 | 50 | -50 10 | 30 | 70 | -40 20 | 60 | 80 | -20 30 | 90 | 90 | 0 40 | 120 | 110 | 10 50 | 150 | 140 | Show more…

In the 1930s, a prominent economist devised the following demand function for corn: p = 6,620,000q^1.3, where q is the number of bushels of corn that could be sold at p dollars per bushel in one year. Assume that at least 15,000 bushels of corn per year must be sold. (a) How much should farmers charge per bushel of corn to maximize annual revenue? HINT [See Example 3], and don't neglect endpoints. (Round to the nearest cent.) p = $ (b) How much corn can farmers sell per year at that price? q = bushels per year (c) What will be the farmers' resulting revenue? (Round to the nearest cent.) $ per year

Problems and Applications Q3 Consider total cost and total revenue, given in the following table: In the final column, enter profit for each quantity. (Note: If the firm suffers a loss, enter a negative number in the appropriate cell.) Total Cost (Dollars) Marginal Cost Total Revenue (Dollars) (Dollars) Marginal Revenue (Dollars) Profit (Dollars) Quantity In order to maximize profit, how many units should the firm produce? Check all that apply.

The figure shows graphs of the total cost function and the total revenue function for a commodity. (Assume cost and revenue are measured in dollars.) (a) Label each function correctly: total revenue function, total cost function (b) Determine the fixed costs: $200 Locate the break-even point: (x, y) = (40, 300) Determine the number of units sold to break even: units (d) Estimate the marginal cost (MC) and marginal revenue (MR): MC = $7.5, MR = $25
