Bavarian Crystal Works designs and produces crystal wine decanters for export to international markets. The marketing manager of Bavarian Crystal Works estimates the demand curve for each month to be:
P=1,000-0.0025Q
where Q is the number of wine decanters produced annually.
Bavarian Crystal Works also pays a lease for its factory and equipment every month in the amount of $1,000,000. Finally, the cost to produce each wine decanter is $200.
What is the marginal revenue at 40,000 units?
If Bavarian Crystals is currently producing 40,000 units would you recommend they increase their production?

- You are a manager at Boston Brew'ns, the official microbrewery of the Boston Bruins. Applying what you learned at Cal State East Bay prior to moving to the east coast, you have estimated the cost function for brewing beer to be c(Q) = 2+Q+Q². Further, you have estimated the elasticity of demand for your signature beer, finding it to be ε =-1.5. Your firm has some price setting power because you and the other breweries in town offer differentiated products. The firm is currently charging a price of $6 per beer and selling 100 beers.
