Question

The monthly demand function for x units of a product sold by a monopoly is p = 5300 - (1/2)x^2 dollars, and its average cost is C = 3050 + 2x dollars. If production is limited to 100 units, find the number of units that maximizes profit. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) units. Will the maximum profit result in a profit or loss? profit/loss.

Step 1

Given the demand function p = 5300 - (1/2)x^2, the revenue function R is given by R = x * p. Substitute the demand function into the revenue function: R = x * (5300 - (1/2)x^2). Simplify: R = 5300x - (1/2)x^3. Show more…
