A local company is planning to manufacture and market a four-slice toaster. For this toaster, the research department’s estimates are aweekly demand of 300 toasters at a price of $25 per toaster and a weekly demand of 400 toasters at a price of $20. The financial department’s estimates are fixed weekly costs of$5,000 and variable costs of $5 per toaster. Assume that the cost function is linear. Use the financial department’s estimates to express the cost function interms of ?. Determinethe Marginal cost and interpret the results.

The cost of controlling carbon dioxide emissions [C(E)] at a firm goes up rapidly as the amount of emissions (E) increase. Let's assume the relationship is defined by the function below. C(E)= 5000+ 40E +2E² E20 where E is measured in tonnes per year and C is measured in dollars per year. a) Determine the Marginal Cost function for controlling carbon dioxide emissions and find the marginal cost at 50 tonnes of emissions: b) Determine the Average Cost Function for controlling carbon dioxide emissions and find the tonnes of emissions at minimum average cost. c) The government is charging a tax of $270 for every tonne of carbon dioxide emitted. At, 50 tonnes of emissions, is it profitable for the firm to control emissions on its own or pay the carbon tax?
A manufacturer’s marginal cost (MC) function is given by: MC = 1000 √3?+12 Find the equation of the total cost function if total costs are 5200 when ? = 8. b) A population of size ? is decreasing according to the law ?? = −? ?? 250where ? denotes the time in days. If initially the population is of size ?0 (that is, when ? = 0, ? = ?0) find how long it takes for the size of the population to be halved.

The HAC at Humberview has decided to sell Gatorade to raise money. The demand function is described by px=-4x+340 , where x is the number of bottles, in hundreds, and px is in dollars. The cost function, in dollars, is described by Cx=300x-275. Determine the number of Gatorade bottles they must sell so that they maximize their profit.
Transportation costs per ton of product vary with distance. For trucks the function is: TCt = 3 + 1.25d For rail it is: TCr = 5 + d For barge it is: TCb = 6 + 1.1d where d is the distance in hundreds of miles and TC is dollars per ton. Make a table showing the least cost mode of transport for distances d = 1, 2, ...,10. Graph the problem and label the modal break points clearly.
