A large company in the communication and publishing industry has quantified the relationship between the price of one of its products and the demand for this product as
Price=160−0.02×Demand
for an annual printing of this particular product. The fixed costs per year (i.e., per
printing)=$47,000
and the variable cost per
unit=$40.
What is the maximum profit that can be achieved? What is the unit price at this point of optimal demand? Demand is not expected to be more than
4,000
units per year.
The maximum profit that can be achieved is
$?
(Round to the nearest dollar.)
The unit price at the point of optimal demand is
