The cost for producing x units of a product is c = 8x + 105, and the pricing function (or demand function) is p = 40 - x. At what value for x is the profit maximized, and what is the price for the product that achieves this maximum?
Added by Sonia T.
Step 1
First, we need to find the revenue function, which is the product of the price and the quantity sold. Revenue = p * x = (40 - x) * x = 40x - x^2 Show more…

A commodity has a demand function modeled by p = 100 - 0.5x and the total cost function is C = 50x + 37.5 if x is the number of units. The price of maximum profit has to be calculated. We have to find the price where there is the maximum profit.

If the cost function is C(x) = 5x +810 and the demand function is p(x) = -0.6x + 39 for x unit of product per day, find the value of x for which the Profit is maximized. Note: Revenue, R(x) = px and Profit, P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

Maximum Profit A commodity has a demand function modeled by $p=100-0.5 x,$ and a total cost function modeled by $C=40 x+37.5$ (a) What price yields a maximum profit? (b) When the profit is maximized, what is the average cost per unit?
