- The monthly demand function for x units of a product sold by a monopoly is p = 6,100 - Find the revenue function, R(x), in dollars. R(x) = Find the cost function, C(x), in dollars. C(x) = Find the profit function, P(x), in dollars. P(x) = Find P'(x). P'(X) = Find the number of units that maximizes profits. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) units Find the maximum profit. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) $ dollars, and its average cost is C = 3,040 + 2x dollars.

- Suppose a manager is faced with the following demand curve for a new software application in a monopoly market, Q = 200 - 50P and the short run total cost function is TC = 2Q + Q2 / 30 If the manager is able to maximize the firms' profit in this monopoly market, what is the total profit value?arrow_forwardThe demand curve faced by a monopoly firm is given by the function P = 58500- 8.9Q What is the absolute value of the slope of its marginal revenue curve? Note: the absolute value refers to the value of a number after ignoring its sign. For example, the absolute value of -100 is 100.
