2.The marginal revenue of a firm is given by the following equation: MR(Q) = 22 +21Q + 16Q2 Where, Q represents the quantity produced. Also given, the total revenue of the firm, when they produce 5 units of output, is 50, i.e., TR(5) = 50. Calculate the firm's total revenue function. What is the value of the constant term in the total revenue function? Answer in two decimal places. Be careful about the sign. Calculate the total revenue of the firm when the firm produces 7 units of output. Answer in two decimal places.

On the graph input tool, change the number found in the Quantity Demanded field to determine the prices that correspond to the production of 0, 6, 12, 15, 18, 24, and 30 units of output. Calculate the total revenue for each of these production levels. Then, on the following graph, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the results. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 6 versus 5 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the sixth unit produced. The marginal revenue of the sixth unit produced is________. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 12 versus 11 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the 12th unit produced. The marginal revenue of the 12th unit produced is_________.

A firm sells its product i two different markets. the inverse demand in market A is PA=72-5QA & in market B, it is PB=60-3QB.it has fixed cost of 72.each unit it produces costs 12 that is marginal cost equals 12.to maximize profits, what quantities of output will be sold in each market & what will total profits be?
Question 7 A firm, focusing on producing toothpaste has a demand function 2? = 10 − 0.25?. If fixed cost per unit is -(+ and variable cost per unit function is 2? − 20 + -)), where Q is number of toothpastes produced and P is the price per toothpaste: a) Determine the number of toothpastes that maximizes the company’s profit. b) How much should the firm charge for one toothpaste? c) Find the total profit at the profit maximizing level of output. d) Using the own price elasticity of demand, comment on the firm's pricing policy options.
A) Find the price function and then the TR function. B) Write the MR and MC functions below. Remember: MR = dTR/dQ and MC = dSTC/dQ. C) What positive value of Q will maximize total profit? Remember: setting MR = MC and solving for Q will give you the Q that maximizes total profit. The value of Q you get should not be zero or negative.
E.g.1: A demand function is given by the equation P = 24 6lnQ ➤ Find the equation of TR (total revenue) and determine for which value of Q is TR maximised. Find MR (marginal revenue) as a function of Q Show that MR is a positive decreasing, concave up function.
Consider the perfectly competitive spice market. At the equilibrium price, the elasticity of market supply is 2.65 and the elasticity of demand is 0.40. Spice is a normal good. An increase in incomes cause the market PRICE of spices to rise by 3%. What is the percentage change in market QUANTITY? Notes: Enter a number only, do not include the % sign. If it decreases, include a negative sign before your number. For example, if it is a 15.675% decrease, enter -15.68 not -0.15. If quantity decreases include a negative sign.
