Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance

Answer to Problem 39RE

The expression of the revenue R is R=−110x2+150x

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  p=−110x+150               0≤x≤1500

Calculation:

By the law of economics, the revenue R is given by R=xp .

Thus,

  R=x(−110x+150)=−110x2+150x

Therefore, R=−110x2+150x

Conclusion:

The expression of the revenue R is R=−110x2+150x

(b)

To determine

To find:the revenue if 100units are sold

(b)

Answer to Problem 39RE

The revenue if 100 units are sold is $14000

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

Substitute 100 for x in R=−110x2+150x .

  R=−110(100)2+150(100)=−110(1000)+15000=−1000+15000=$14000

Therefore, the revenue if 100 units is sold is $14000 .

Conclusion:The revenue if 100 units is sold is $14000

(c)

To determine

To find: the maximum revenue and the quantity x that maximizes the revenue

Answer to Problem 39RE

When x=750 there will be maximum revenue

The maximum revenue will be $56,250

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The function of R is a quadratic equation with a=−110 and b=150 . Since a<0 the vertex is the highest point on the parabola.

So, the revenue will be maximum when the quantity sold x=−b2a .

  x=−1502(−110)=15015=750

Therefore, when x=750 there will be maximum revenue.

Find the maximum revenue by substituting 750 for x in R=−110x2+150x .

  R=−110(750)2+150(750)=−110(562,500)+112,500=−56,250+11,2500=$56,250

Therefore, the maximum revenue will be $56,250 .

Conclusion:

Therefore, there will be maximum revenuewhen x=750

The maximum revenue will be $56,250

(d)

To determine

To find:price charged by the company to maximize revenue?

(d)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 39RE

  $75 should be the price to maximize the revenue

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

Substitute 750 for x in p=−110x+150 to get the price to maximize the revenue.

  p=−110(750)+150=−75+150=$75

Therefore, $75 should be the price to maximize the revenue.

Conclusion:

  $75 should be the price to maximize the revenue
