Case Scenario/ Real World is television production company that manufactures movies. The market research department recommends that the company manufacture a new television series and presents the following demand equation x = 25000-50p, where x is the demand at $p per episode. Solve the demand equation for p and discuss the relevance of this information to the company. The financial department also provides the cost function C(x)= 18,000+500x. Analyse the revenue and profit function and identify what the marginal revenue and the marginal profit equation signifies. Determine the exact and approximate revenue from manufacturing the 31st television show. Advise Real World productions on any additional information that you may need that will assist them in future projects.

The Hickory Cabinet and Furniture Company makes chairs. The fixed cost per month of making chairs is $7,500, and the variable cost per chair is $40. Price is related to demand, according to the following linear equation: v = 400 - 1.2p Develop the nonlinear profit function for this company and determine the price that will maximize profit, the optimal volume, and the maximum profit per month.
FG Manufacturers wants to determine the effectiveness of their pricing decisions for their product Lylo. As a consultant, you have been asked to develop cost functions that will assist in arriving at the optimal price that will enable the company to maximize profits. During the year, you were provided with the following demand and costs functions for the product: P = 400 – 6Q; where P is the unit selling price and Q is quantity in thousands of units. TC = 8Q2 + 36Q + 150; where TC is total cost in thousands of dollars. Determine the optimal sales revenue. Calculate the maximum profit. Briefly outline two (2) factors to be considered by managementswhen pricing decisions are being made.

Bill Lewis, manager of the Thomas Electronics Division, called a meeting with his controller, Brindon Peterson, and his marketing manager, Patty Fritz. The following is a transcript of the conversation that took place during the meeting: Bill: Brindon, the variable costing system that you developed has proved to be a big plus for our division. Our success in winning bids has increased, and as a result our revenues have increased by 25%. However, if we intend to meet this year’s profit targets, we are going to need something extra—am I right, Patty? Patty: Absolutely. While we have been able to win more bids, we still are losing too many, particularly to our major competitor, Kilborn Electronics. If we knew more about their bidding strategy, we could be more successful at competing with them. Brindon: Would knowing their variable costs help? Patty: Certainly. It would give me their minimum price. With that knowledge, I’m sure that we could find a way to beat them on several jobs,…
