2. With reference to Example 9.5.1, let R(Q) = 80Q and C(Q) = Q2 + 10Q + 900. The firm can produce at most 50 units. (a) Draw the graphs of R and C in the same coordinate system. (b) Answer the following questions both graphically and by computation: (i) How many units must be produced for the firm to make a profit? (ii) How many units must be produced for the firm to maximize profits?

It costs a baker a fixed cost of $420 and variable cost of $2.10 per cupcake. A cupcake issold for $4.90 each.(i) Make a table showing the total cost and the revenue obtained from producing 20,40,60,80 and 100 cupcakes.(ii) Write algebraic expressions representing the cost C and the revenue R as functions of the number of cupcakes X produced and number of cupcakes X sold respectively.(iii) Graph both functions on the same coordinate axes and from your graph determine the cordinate at which cost equals revenue.
It costs a baker a fixed cost of $420 and variable cost of $2.10 per cupcake. A cupcake is sold for $4.90 each.

2. What is the relationship between the total cost curve, and the average cost per unit? Explain their relationship, and draw a diagram showing how the two are related. The total cost of production, in thousands of dollars, is C(q) = q³ 12q² + 60q, where q is in thousands and 0 ≤ q ≤ 8. (a) Graph C(q). Estimate visually the quantity at which average cost is minimized. (b) Determine analytically the exact value of q at which average cost is minimized.

6. Let p(x) = 4 – 0.0002x be the price (in TL) of each unit of a certain product required to attract a demand of x units in a year and let C(x) = 600 + 3x be the total cost of producing x units of the product in a year. (a) (- as large as possible? What is the number of units that should be produced to make the yearly profit (b) What is the yearly profit in case (a)
As a producer and seller of some commodity, you have learned that, if you produce and sell x itmes in a particular month, the following functions can be used to find the cost and revenue: Revenue: R(x)=150x-x^2 and Cost: C(x)=3000+20x. (a) Write a simplified formula for your profit in a particular month, P(x)=R(x)- C(x) (b) Find the "break-even" point(s) (c) How many items should you produce and sell in a month in order to achieve a maximum profit? (d) What is the maximum possible monthly profit? This is the problem and I cannot solve the c and d, could you please help me?
A firm uses a single input to produce a commodity according to itsshort-run production function f(x) = 4√x, where x is the number of units ofinput. The commodity sells for $100 per unit. The input cost $50 per unit.(a) Write down a function that states the firm’s profit as a function ofthe amount of input.(b) What is the profit maximizing amount of input and output?(c) Suppose the firm is taxed $20 per unit of its output and the priceof its input is subsidized by $10, explain in detail how this will affect the newinput and output levels?
A firm has the following production function: Q = 9L2/3K1/3 Where Q is output, L is labor and K is Capital. Where Q is output, L is labor and K is Capital. (a) What sort of returns to scale characterize this production function? (b) Derive the marginal product of labor and capital. (c) What do we mean when we say the production function is linearly homogenous?
