(a) How would one estimate the full cost to an airline if one of its planes is held over for 24 hours in an airport for repair? (b) A company has spent $10 million to develop a product for market. During the product’s first two years, the company’s profit was $6 million. In recent years, the market was flooded by rival products and now the company is reassessing its product. If it abandons the product, it can recover $2 million of its original investment by selling its production facility. If it continues to produce the product, its estimated revenues for successive two-year periods will be $5 million and $3 million and its costs will be $4 million and $2.5 million. (After four years the plant will have zero resale value.) What would be the company’s best course of action? (c) Two decades ago, the global demand and supply curves for copper were: Qd = 15-10P and Qs = -3 + 14P, where Q is measured in millions of metric tons per year. Find the competitive price and quantity. Suppose that…

A company produces and sells a consumer product and is able to control the demand for the product by varying the selling price. The approximate relationship between price and demand is p= 200-0.05D where p is the price per unit in dollars and D is the demand per month. The company is seeking to maximize its profit. The fixed cost is $15000 per month and the variable cost is $50 per unit. a. What is the number of units that should be produced and sold each month to maximize profit? b. What is the domain of profitable demand during a month? Show your spreadsheet.
Crawford Computing finds that its weekly profit, in dollars, from its production and sale of x laptop computers is P(x)=-.002x^3-.15x^2+400x-800 Currently, Crawford builds and sells 9 laptops weekly. (a) what is the current weekly profit? (b) how much profit would be lost if production and sales dropped to 8 laptops weekly? (c) what is the marginal profit with x=9? (d) use answers from parts (a) and (c) to estimate the profit resulting from the production and sale of 10 laptops weekly.
A company has established that the relationship between the sales price for one of its products and the quantity sold per month is approximately p = 75 – 0.1D units (D is the demand or quantity sold per month and p is the price in dollars). The fixed cost is $1,000 per month and the variable cost is $30 per unit produced. Solve, a. What is the maximum profit per month related to thisproduct? b. What is the range of profitable demand during a month?
Cost, revenue, and profit are in dollars and x is the number of units. Suppose that the marginal revenue for a product is MR = 1800 and the marginal cost is MC = 90Vx + 4, with a fixed cost of $600. (a) Find the profit or loss from the production and sale of 5 units. There is a -Select-- | of $ (b) How many units will result in a maximum profit? units

(c) Graph the marginal cost function. Use your graph to find the minimum marginal cost, the production level for which the marginal cost is the smallest. (d) For what value of x does the marginal cost return to C'(0)? (a) Find a formula for the marginal cost. c'(x) =D (b) Find C'(0). Give units. c'(0) = (c) Use the derivative of the marginal cost function to find the minimum marginal cost, the production level for which the marginal cost is the smallest. The minimum marginal cost of additional dollars per item produced occurs when thousand items are produced. d) Recall your answer to part b. For what value of x does the marginal cost return to C'(0)? Marginal cost returns to this value of C (x) when x = items are produced.
A company has established that the relationship between the sales price for one of its products and the quantity sold per month is approximately p= 75 -0.10 (D is the demand or quantity sold per month and p is the price in doilars).

What is the range of profitable demand during a month? a. The maximum profit per month for this product is S (Round to the nearest dollar.) b. The range of profitable demand during a month is from units to units. (Round up the lower limit and down the upper limit to the nearest whole number.)

A farmer has 8 hectares of agricultural land. The farmer will plant the land with rice and corn. 3 tons of rice can be harvested from 1 hectare of rice field, while 4 tons of corn can be harvested from 1 hectare of corn field. This farmer wants to get a yield of no less than 30 tonnes. If the cost of planting 1 hectare of rice field is 500 thousand and the cost of planting 1 hectare of corn field is 600 thousand. Then what is the minimum cost that must be incurred by the farmer?
