The weekly demand function for x units of a product sold by only one firm is
p = 800 − 0.5x dollars, and the average cost of production and sale is C(with a line on top) = 300 + 2x dollars.

(a) Find the quantity that will maximize profit.

(b) Find the selling price at this optimal quantity.

(c) What is the maximum profit?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) x = 798   is the quantity that maximizes the profit

b)po(x) = 401 $/unit

c)P(max ) = 636105 $

Step-by-step explanation:

The weekly demand function is equal to the price by unit and the Revenue function is weekly demand times quantity of units then:

R(x) = p(x) * x

R(x) = ( 800 - 0,5*x ) * x

R(x) = 800*x - 0,5*x²

The equation for the profit is:

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = 800*x - 0,5*x² - ( 300 + 2*x)

P(x) = 798*x - 0,5*x² - 300

a) P(x) = 798*x - 0,5*x² - 300

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation:

P´(x) = 798 - x

If P´(x) = 0     then    798 - x = 0

x = 798   is the quantity that maximizes the profit

b) Selling price for the optimal quantity is:

p(x) = 800 - 0,5*x

p(x) = 800 - 0,5* 798

po (x) = 800 - 399

po(x) = 401 $/unit

c) Pmax = ?

P(x) = 798*x - 0,5*x² - 300    by subtitution of  x = 798

P(max) = 636804 - 399 - 300

P(max ) = 636105 $

Answer 2

a) The quantity that will maximize profit is [tex]100 \ units[/tex].

b) The selling of at this optimal quantity is [tex]\[/tex][tex]750[/tex] per unit.

c) So, the maximum profit is [tex]\[/tex][tex]25000[/tex].

Demand Function:

A demand function is a mathematical equation that expresses the demand for a product or service as a function of its price and other factors such as the prices of the substitutes and complementary goods, income, etc.

The given demand function,

[tex]P=800-\frac{1}{2}x[/tex]

So, the revenue function is,

[tex]R(x)=p.x\\R(x)=800-x-\frac{1}{2}x^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow[/tex]Average cost is

[tex]\bar{C}=300+2x[/tex]

So, the total cost function is,

[tex]C\left ( x \right )=\bar{C}.x \\ C\left ( x \right )=300x+2x^{2}[/tex]

a) Profit function:

[tex]P\left ( x \right )=R\left ( x \right )-C\left ( x \right ) \\ =800x-\frac{1}{2}x^{2}-300x-2x^{2} \\ P\left ( x \right )=500x-\frac{5}{2}x^{2}[/tex]

For maximum,

[tex]{P}'\left ( x \right )=0 \\ 500\left ( 1 \right )-\frac{5}{2}\left ( 2x \right )=0 \\ 500-5x=0 \\ x=100[/tex]

b) Selling Price:

[tex]P=800-\frac{1}{2}x \\ at \ x=100 \\ P=800-\frac{1}{2}\left ( 100 \right ) \\ =\$ 750[/tex]

c) Maximum Profit:

[tex]P\left ( x \right )=500x-\frac{5}{2}x^{2} \\ P\left ( 100 \right )=500\left ( 100 \right )-\frac{5}{2}\left ( 100 \right )^{2} \\ P\left ( 100 \right )=\$ 25000[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 8 to both sides of the equals sign, then bring down -8n, add -72+8, You'll get -64, lastly you divide -64 and -8, and you'll get your answer

Start by turning everything positive! 8n + 8 = 72.
Then, having the 8 as a positive number, subtract it from the left side. 8n = 64
In our final step, we divide 64 by 8 to find what n is, n= 8
To check your work you can plug it back into the original equation, be sure that both sides equal each other!

On a drive from your home to town, you
wish to average 60 mph. The distance from
your home to town is 78 miles. However,
at 39 miles (half way), you find you have
averaged only 45 mph.
What average speed must you maintain in
the remaining distance in order to have an
overall average speed of 60 mph?
Answer in units of mph.

Answers

Answer:

Your average speed must be 90 mph in the remaining distance in order to have overall average speed of 60 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of distance is d = v × t, where

v is the average speedt is the time

∵ You  wish to average 60 mph on a drive from your home to town

∵ The distance from  your home to town is 78 miles

→ Find the time of your journey using the rule above

∴ 78 = 60 × t

→ Divide both sides by 60

∴ [tex]\frac{78}{60}[/tex] = t

t = [tex]\frac{13}{10}[/tex] hours

∵ You have averaged only 45 mph in the first 39 miles (half way)

∴ v1 = 45 mph

∴ d1 = 39 miles

→ Find the time of this part

∴ 39 = 45 × t1

→ Divide both sides by 45

∴ [tex]\frac{39}{45}[/tex] = t1

t1 = [tex]\frac{13}{15}[/tex] hour

→ Subtract the time of the first part from the time of the journey to

  find the time for the second part

∵ t2 = t - t1

∴ t2 = [tex]\frac{13}{10}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{13}{15}[/tex]

t2 = [tex]\frac{13}{30}[/tex] hour

→ Now let us find the average speed of the second part of his journey

∵ d2 = 39 miles ⇒ (78 - 39)

∵ t2 = [tex]\frac{13}{30}[/tex] hour

∴ 39 = v2 × [tex]\frac{13}{30}[/tex]

→ Divide both sides by [tex]\frac{13}{30}[/tex]

∴ 39 ÷ [tex]\frac{13}{30}[/tex]  = v2

∴ 90 = v2

v2 = 90 mph

Your average speed must be 90 mph in the remaining distance in

   order to have overall average speed of 60 mph

However, the following explanation will guide you

As a point of reference, we assume that f(x) is:

[tex]f(x) = 2x + 4[/tex]

To solve further, we substitute 6 for f(x)

[tex]6 = 2x + 4[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

The​ homoskedasticity-only F​-statistic and the​ heteroskedasticity-robust F​-statistic typically​ are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

An F statistic is a value derived by running an ANOVA test or a regression analysis to find out if the means between two populations are significantly different.

The homoskedasticity-only” F-statistic is derived by running two regressions, one under the null hypothesis and one under the alternative hypothesis. If the “unrestricted” model fits sufficiently better, reject the null.

In the first regression, the restricted regression (the null hypothesis) is forced to be true. This is the regression in which all the coefficients are set to zero; the relevant regressors are excluded from the regression. In the second regression, the unrestricted regression, the alternative hypothesis is allowed to be true. If the sum of squared residuals is sufficiently smaller in the unrestricted than the restricted regression, then the test rejects the null hypothesis

The heteroskedasticity-robust F-statistic is built in to STATA (“test” command); this tests all q  restrictions at once.

The homoskedasticity-only F-statistic is important historically (and also in practice), and can  help intuition, but isn’t valid when there is heteroskedasticity
