A large company in the communication and publishing industry has quantified the relationship between the price of one of its products and the demand for this product as
Price=160−0.02×Demand
for an annual printing of this particular product. The fixed costs per year (i.e., per
printing)=$47,000
and the variable cost per
unit=$40.
What is the maximum profit that can be achieved? What is the unit price at this point of optimal demand? Demand is not expected to be more than
4,000
units per year.
The maximum profit that can be achieved is
$?
(Round to the nearest dollar.)
The unit price at the point of optimal demand is
$?
per unit.
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=85-0.2D (D is the demand or quantity sold per month and p is the price in dollars).
The fixed cost is $1,500 per month and the variable cost is $20 per unit produced.
a. What is the maximum profit per month for this product?
b. What is the range of profitable demand during a month?
