- Profit The demand equation for a microwave oven is given by p=1400.0001x, where p is the unit price (in dollars) of the microwave oven and x is the number of units sold. The cost equation for the microwave oven is C=80x+150,000, where C is the total cost (in dollars) and x is the number of units produced. The total profit P obtained by producing and selling x units is modeled by P=xpC. (a) Find the profit function P in terms of x. (b) Find the profit when 250,000 units are sold. (c) Find the unit price when 250,000 units are sold. (d) Find (if possible) the unit price that will yield a profit of 10 million dollars. If not possible, explain why.arrow_forwardGrazing Kangaroos The amount of vegetation eaten in a day by a grazing animal V of food available measured as biomass, in units such as pounds per acre. This relationship is called the functional response. If there is little vegetation available, the daily intake will be small, since the animal will have difficulty finding and eating the food. As the amount of food biomass increases, so does the daily intake. Clearly, though, there is a limit to the amount the animal will eat, regardless of the amount of food available. This maximum amount eaten is the satiation level. a.For the western grey kangaroo of Australia, the functional response is G=2.54.8e0.004V, where G=G(V) is the daily intake measured in pounds and V is the vegetation biomass measured in pounds per acre. i. Draw a graph of G against V. Include vegetation biomass levels up to 2000 pounds per acre. ii. Is the graph you found in part i concave up or concave down? Explain in practical terms what your answer means about how this kangaroo feeds. iii. There is a minimal vegetation biomass level below which the western grey kangaroo will eat nothing. Another way of expressing this is to say that the animal cannot reduce the food biomass below this level. Find this minimal level. iv. Find the satiation level for the western grey kangaroo. b. For the red kangaroo of Australia, the functional response is R=1.91.9e0.033V, Where R is the daily intake measured in pounds and V is the vegetation biomass measured in pounds per acre. i. Add the graph of R against V to the graph of G you drew in part a. ii. A simple measure of the grazing efficiency of an animal involves the minimal vegetation biomass level described above: The lower the minimal level for an animal, the more efficient it is at grazing. Which is more efficient at grazing, the western grey kangaroo or the red kangaroo?arrow_forwardTEST YOUR UNDERSTADING FOR EXAMPLE 3.5 A donation to the university is required for the privilege of purchasing premium season football passes. The cost is a linear function of the number of season passes. It costs 8000 to get season passes for myself and my spouse. To get passes for my entire family of 5, it costs 17,000. Use a formula to express the total cost C, in dollars, of n season passes. EXAMPLE 3.5 CHANGING CELSIUS TO FAHRENHEIT Temperature F=F(C) in Fahrenheit is a linear function of the temperature C in Celsius. A lab assistant placed a Fahrenheit thermometer beside a Celsius thermometer and observed the following: When the Celsius thermometer reads 30 degree (C=30), the Fahrenheit thermometer reads 86 degrees (F=86). When the Celsius thermometer reads 40 degrees, the Fahrenheit thermometer reads 104 degrees. Part 1 Use a formula to express F as a linear function of C. Part 2 At sea level, water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. What temperature in degrees Celsius makes water boil? Part 3 Explain in practical terms what the slope means in this setting.arrow_forward
- Total Cost The background for this exercise can be found in Exercises 13 and 14 in Section 3.2. The following table gives the total cost C, in dollars, for a widget manufacturer as a function of the number N of widgets produced during a month. Number N Total cost C 200 7900 250 9650 300 11, 400 350 13, 150 a. What are the fixed costs and variable cost for this manufacturer? b. The manufacturer wants to reduce the fixed costs so that the total cost at a monthly production level of 350 will be 12, 975. What will the new fixed costs be? c. Instead of reducing the fixed costs as in part b, the manufacturer wants to reduce the variable cost so that the total cost at a monthly production level of 350 will be 12, 975.
