A company manufactures a product in the United States and sells it in England. The unit cost of manufacturing is $52. The current exchange rate (dollars per pound) is 1.213. The demand function, which indicates how many units the company can sell in England as a function of price (in pounds) is of the power type, with constant 27556733 and exponent -2.5. A) Develop a model for the company's profit (in dollars) as a function of the price it charges (in pounds). Then use a data table to find the profit-maximizing price to the nearest pound. Assume that the price ranges from £45 to £100 in increments of £1. Round your answer for the maximum profit to the nearest dollar and your answer for the best price to the nearest pound. 1. Maximum profit: $______ 2. Best price: £ ______
