Diane owns a store that sells computers. Her profit, in dollars, is represented by the
function
P(x) = x - 22x2 - 240x, where x is the number of computers sold.
Part A: Diane hopes to make a profit of at least $10,000 by the time she sells 36
computers. Explain whether or not Diane will meet her goal. Justify your reasoning.
Part B: Diane states that there are three possible values of x for which she will have a
profit of$0. Find the values of x that produce a zero profit to show whether Diane is
correct or not. Justify your reasoning.

- Del's and Rodney's are two plumbing services in a gentrifying area of South East London. Within the area they service, the two firms operate as a duopoly and together serve one hundred percent of the available local market. One of their key lines of business is visiting customer's homes to install a new shower rail. A student project has been investigating the local plumbing business and has estimated the following information for Del's and Rodney's: Total demand for new shower rails per week is given by P = 200 - 4Q Where Q is total market demand and can be divided between Del's (qd) and Rodney's (qr) such that Q = qd + qr Assuming that the marginal cost of serving an extra customer is £40 for each, and that marginal revenue for Del is given by MRd 2008qd - 4qr And marginal revenue for Rodney is given by MRr Then 2008qr - 4qd 8 CONTINUEDarrow_forwardHow does the goal of the firm influence the sales maximization and profit maximization decision.arrow_forward(b) You are the CEO for a lightweight compasses manufacturer.

I failed to notice because the price change didn’t affect grande or venti (medium and large) brewed coffees and I don’t mess with smaller sizes, but anyone who purchases tall size (small) brews saw as much as a 10 cent increase. The company’s third quarter revenue rose 25% to $417.8 million from $333.1 million a year earlier, and green coffee prices have plummeted, so what gives? Starbucks claims the price increase is due to rising labor and non-coffee commodity costs, but with the significantly lower coffee costs already improving their profit margins, it seems unlikely this justification is the true reason for the hike in prices.
