A company estimated that the relationship between the unit price and demand per month for a potential new product is approximated by P = $ 100 – $ 0.1D. The company can produce the product by increasing fixed costs $ 17,500 per month, and the estimated variable costs is $ 40 per unit. What is the optimal demand, D*, and based on this demand, should the company produce new product? Why? a) Work out the complete solution by differential calculus, starting with formula for profit or loss per month b) Solve graphically for an approximate answer
