and cost functions (in million dollars) are given by
p = 200 – 8x + y
(price of Vaccine A)
(price of Vaccine B)
(cost function)
q = 160 + x – 4y
-
C(x, y) = 250 + 100x + 90y
where x is the annual demand for Vaccine A and y is the annual demand for Vaccine
B (both in million). Find the marginal profits Px and Py when x =
6 and y = 8.
