Country Motorbikes Incorporated finds that it costs $400 to produce each motorbike, and that fixed costs are $1300 per day. The price function is p(x)= 700-5x, where p the price (in dollars) at which exactly x motorbikes will be sold. Find the quantity Country Motorbikes should produce and the price it should charge to maximize profit. Also find the maximum profit. 40 quantity price profit motorbikes Enter a number.
Road Runner Co is a Pakistani manufacturer making Bicycles. It exports to two markets,Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Demand for Bicycles in thesetwo markets is given by the following Functions: Bangladesh Q1 = 12 – P1 Sri Lanka Q2 = 8 – P2 Where Q1 and Q2 are respective quantities sold (in thousands) andP1 and P2 are the respective prices (in Pak. Rupees per unit) in the two markets. Total cost function is C = 5 + 2 (Q1+ Q2) A.Determine the company’s total profit function. Also, (i) What are the profit maximizing levels of price and output for the two markets? (ii) Calculate the marginal revenues in each market. B.Now consider two cases: (i) Company is effectively able to price discriminate in thetwo markets. What will be the total profits? (ii) Suppose the company does not engage in price discrimination. By charging thesameprice in the two markets what are the profit maximizing levels of price,output, and the total profits?…

In the market for foam fire retardant there is only one firm. The demand func-tion for the product is Q = 15,000 – 10P where Q is the annual sales quantity in tons and P is the price per ton. The firm’s total cost function (in dollars) is C = 1,400,000 + 300Q + 0.05Q2.a) How much foam fire retardant should this firm produce and sell in order to maximize its profit? What price should it charge?b) Compute the firm’s total profit.c) Suppose now that the firm faces a 20% increase in variable costs. Determine what impact this will have on the firm’s optimal choice.

A manager must decide how many machines of a certain type to purchase. Each machine can process 100 customers per day. One machine will result in a fixed cost of $2,200 per day, while two machines will result in a fixed cost of $3,700 per day. Variable costs will be $20 per customer, and revenue will be $45 per customer. a. Determine the break-even point for each range. (Round your answers to the next whole number.) One machine Two machines b. If estimated demand is 90 to 120 customers per day, how many machines should be purchased?
The Lead Zeppelin Company produces powered and steerable lighter-than-air craft. The company’s airships are specially lined and are therefore safer than normal dirigibles. The table below shows the weekly production of dirigibles, along with the associated Average Cost and Total Revenue figures (the Average Cost and Total Revenue figures are actually in thousands of dollars, so the $15 represents $15,000, but we have left off the zeros to save space). Quantity Average Cost Total Cost Total Revenue 0 -- 0 $0 1 $15 15 $10 2 $9 18 $20 3 $8 24 $30 4 $8.50 34 $40 5 $9 45 $50 6 $10 60 $60 7 $12 84 $70 The Lead Zeppelin Company has decided that it will produce at least 1 dirigible. Now the question becomes, how many more dirigibles should it produce to make as much profit as possible? Use the profit-maximizing rule to explain how many dirigibles the Lead Zeppelin Company should produce to…
The company that produces microwave ovens operates in a competitive environment. The total cost function has the form:TC = 100 + Q2 Define : 1) how many furnaces need to be produced to get the maximum profit, if the price of the furnace is 60; 2) what is the profit of the company.
Hello, I would like to request help with the below discussion question for my Quantative Analysis class. For a certain company, the cost function for producing x items is C(x)=50x+150 and the revenue function for selling x items is R(x)=-0.5(x-130)^2+8,450. The maximum capacity of the company is 180 items. The profit function P(x) is the revenue function R(x) (how much it takes in) minus the cost function C(x) (how much it spends). In economic models, one typically assumes that a company wants to maximize its profit, or at least make a profit! Answer to some of the questions are given below so that you can check your work. 1. Assuming that the company sells all that it produces, what is the profit function? P(x)=_____________ 2. What is the domain of P(x)? 3. The company can choose to produce either 80 or 90 items. What is their profit for each case, and which level of production should they choose? Profit when producing 80 items = _____________ Profit when producing 90…
