A firm is planning to manufacture a new product. As the selling price is increased, the quantity that can be sold decreases. Numerically the sales department estimates: P= $475-0.250 where P= selling price per unit Q = quantity sold per year On the other hand, management estimates that the average unit cost of manufacturing and selling the product will decrease as the quantity sold increases. They estimate C = $48Q+$22,500 where C= cost to produce and sell Q per year The firm's management wishes to maximize profit. What quantity should the decision makers plan to produce and sell each year and what profit will be earned?
