I just need help with G and H.

A through F have already been completed.

The demand for product Q is given by Q = 220-P and the total cost of Q by:
STC =1000 +80Q -3Q² +

a
Find the price function and then the TR function. See Assignment 3 or 4 for an
example.
Q=220-P
P=220-Q
TR=(PIQ
TR = (220 – 0J0
TR=220Q - Q²
b. Write the MR and MC functions below. Remember: MR = gTB/dQ and MC =
OSTC/dQ. See Assignment 5 for a review of derivatives.

(2200) = 220(1)Q¹-¹ = 220

MC = 80 - 6Q+Q²
c. What positive value of Q will maximize total profit? Remember: setting MR = MC
and solving for Q will give you the Q that maximizes total profit. The value of Q you
get should not be zero or negative.
MR = MC

Q(Q14) +10(Q14) = 0
(Q + 10) (Q14) = 0
Q10 or Q = 14
Value of Q that maximizes profit would equal 14
d. Use the price function found in (a) to determine the price per unit that will need to
be charged at the Q found in (c). This will be the price you should ask per unit for
each unit of Q that maximizes total profit.
P = 220 - Q
P

PROFIT ANALYSIS
P = 206
A price of 206 should be charged for each unit of Q that maximizes
profit.
e. How much total profit will result from selling the quantity found in (c) at the price
found in (d)? Remember: profit is TR-STC.
TR = 206(14) = 2884 total revenue
STC = 1000 + 80Q-3Q² +0³
STC = 1000 + 80(14) — 3(14)² + (14)²

STC = 1000 + 1120-3(196) +(2744)
STC = 2120588 +914.67
STC = 2446.67
Profit = TR - STC
Profit = 2884 - 2446.67
Maxiumum Profit = 437.33
f. At what level of Q is revenue maximized? Remember, let MR = 0 and solve for Q.
MR = 0 signals the objective of maximizing revenue.
Total revenue maximizes when MR = 0.
TR = 220Q - Q²

MR 220 2Q
MR = 0
220-2Q=0
220 = 2Q
PROFIT ANALYSIS

Q=2
Q = 110
When Q=110 it will maximize the total revenue
g. At what positive level of Q is marginal profit maximized? You found the profit
function in (e) above. Marginal profit is the first derivative of the profit function (e).
Next, find the derivative of marginal profit, set it equal to zero, and solve for Q. This
is the Q that maximizes marginal profit.
h. What price per unit should be charged for each unit of Q found in (g)? Simply plug
the Q you got in (g) into the same price function you found in (a) and also used in
(d).
