For the toatl revenue equation R(q)=1000+1000q-8q^2 how does the second order sufficient condition establish that there is a maximum total revenue? What is the quantity where total revenue is maximized?
The travel time (t) on the segment of a highway connecting city A with city Bhas been observed to follow the equation below, as a function of traffic flow(v): t = 15 + 0.02v, where t and v are measured in minutes and vehicles perhour, respectively. The demand function for travel connecting the two cities isv = 3500 – 120t.a) Determine the equilibrium time and traffic flow.b) If the length of the highway segment is 30 kilometres, what is the averagespeed of vehicles traversing this segment at equilibrium conditions?
A manufacture has been selling 1900 television sets a week at $510 each. A market survey indicates that for each $16 rebate offered to a buyer, the number of sets sold will increase by 160 per week. a) Find the demand function p(x), where a is the number of the television sets sold per week. p(x)=\ b) How large rebate should the company offer to a buyer, in order to maximize its revenue? S c) If the weekly cost function is 161500+ 1702, how should it set the size of the rebate to maximize its profit?
Suppose a certain city has a monopoly cable-television company. This company has total costs TC = Q2 + 10Q + 75. (Hint: using calculus, this means MC = 2Q + 10 since MC is the derivative of TC with respect to output.) The demand in the community is approximated by the equation Qd = 85 - P/2 (alternatively, you can write the demand equation as Qd = 85 – 0.5P). Graphically depict the demand curve as well as the marginal cost (MC) curve. If the cable company is free to choose its own price Pm and quantity Qm, graphically depict the monopoly equilibrium price and quantity. Add any other curve(s) to your diagram that may be required to obtain this outcome. Compute and state the exact monopolist equilibrium price Pm and quantity Qm that you depicted graphically.
A ship travels between ports, A and B, which is a total distance of D. The cost per-hour of operating the ship is c(v) = w +v", where w > 0 represents the hourly wages of the ship's employees, v is the ship's velocity, and n 2 2 is a parameter. The objective is to choose v so that the trip is made at minimum cost. (Hint: velocity is equal to distance divided by the time taken on the trip, or what is the same, time taken is equal to distance divided by velocity) 1. Assume that v = 2. Find the expression for the indirect cost function, and consider its first two derivatives with D and with w.
Suppose that the finance department of our favorite company, TVZ R US, determines that the total = 500+ 2x. The marketing department's cost of producing a amount of televisions is C (x) estimate of the demand function for televisions has not changed and remains p = 10 -0.01x. A) Write an equation for the profit of this company. B) Use the first derivative to find the marginal profit of the function you wrote in part A. C) Compute the second derivative and determine if the value you found in Part B is an absolute maximum or absolute minimum. D) Find the maximum profit of the company. E) At what price are profits maximized?

Action No Recycling Recycling Chemical Lab (Dollars) 2,400 2,100 Profit Water Park (Dollars) 1,100 1,900 Total (Dollars) Total economic profit is highest when the recycling production method is When the chemical lab uses the recycling method, the water park earns $1,900 - $1,100 = $800 more per week than it does with no recycling. Therefore, the water park should be willing to pay up to $800 per week for the chemical lab to recycle water. However, the recycling method decreases the chemical lab's economic profit by $2,400 - $2,100 = $300 per week. Therefore, the chemical lab should be willing to use the recycling method if it is compensated with at least $300 per week. Suppose the water park has the property rights to the lake. That is, the water park has the right to a clean (unpolluted) lake. In this case, assuming the two firms can bargain at no cost, the chemical lab will the recycling method and will pay the water park per week. Now, suppose the chemical lab has the property…

Teascent is selling candles in Pleasantville. The incremental costs of wax, wick, and other materials for a candle are $0.80. The daily price- response function in Pleasantville is d(p) = 11000 - 980p. Teascent practices price differentiation and sells its candles for $5 to price-sensitive customers with coupons, and for $7 to quality- seekers. A: Find Teascent's daily total contribution based on the two-price policy. B: Find the total customer surplus based on the two-price policy.
