75. Cost. A company manufactures downhill skis. It has fixed costs of $25,000 and a marginal cost given by
where C(x) is the total cost at an output of x pairs of skis. Find the cost function C(x) and determine the production level (to the nearest unit) that produces a cost of $150,000. What is the cost (to the nearest dollar) for a production level of 850 pairs of skis?

- Suppose the marginal cost of producing x units of a product is given by: MC=30 Square root (x+4) And the marginal revenue is given by: MR = 900 And the fixed costs are $1000. What is the profit (or loss) for the production and sale of 5 units of this product ? How many units are needed to be sold to make the maximum profit?arrow_forwardSuppose that a cost–benefit function is given by f (x) = 50x105 - x, 0 … x … 100, where x is the percentage of some pollutant to be removed and f (x) is the associated cost (in millions of dollars). Find the cost to remove 70%, 95%, and 100% of the pollutant.arrow_forwardIn Problems 85–90, use the Intermediate Value Theorem to show that each function has a zero in the given interval.

- One action that a government could take to reduce carbon emission into the atmosphere is to place a tax on fossil fuels. This tax would be based on the amount of carbon dioxide that is emitted into the air when such a fuel is burned. The cost-benefit equation In (1-P)= -0.0036-0.0059T describes the approximate relationship between a tax of T dollars per ton of carbon dioxide and the corresponding percent reduction P (in decimals) in emissions of carbon dioxide. (a) Determine the percent reduction in carbon dioxide when the tax is $30. (b) What tax will cause a 50% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions? (a) The percent reduction in carbon dioxide when the tax is $30 is%. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest tenth as needed.)

They all have identical farmland that is more productive if wells are used to pump the groundwater for irrigation. They all face a marginal cost of $10 per well. The average productivity (in $ of crop output) of the wells of the common aquifer is given by AP = 100 – W where W is the number of wells drilled into the aquifer. 1. Now assume one farmer buys all the land – how many wells will be drilled and what will be the rent generated. A. 45; 2025 B. 90; 2025 C. 60; 1000 D. 90; 0 E. 45; 0 F.
