Question

has multiple parts

Assume that a company sells widgets and the demand equation is given by: p = -0.01q + 50. Also, assume that the cost (in dollars) of producing q widgets is given by C(q) = 3000-20q+0.03g^2 Calculate the Revenue function, R(q). b. Calculate the Marginal Revenue function. c. Calculate the Marginal Revenue at 1, 000 units and interpret what it means using a complete sentence. d. Calculate the Marginal Cost function. e. Calculate the Marginal Cost at 1, 000 units and interpret what it means using a complete sentence.

Explanation / Answer

ans a)

p= - 0.01q +50

R(q) = p*q = -0.01 q2 + 50q

b)

Marginal revenue , MR = dR/dq = -0.02q + 50

c) at q=1000

MR= -0.02q + 50 = - 0.02(1000) + 50 = -20+ 50 = 30

marginal revenue at q=1000 is 30 , which means revenue will change by 30 if output changes by 1 at q=1000

d) C(q)= 3000- 20q +0.03 q2

MC= dC/dq = -20+ 0.06q

e) at q=1000

MC= -20+ 0.06q = -20+ 0.06(1000) = 40

marginal cost at q=1000 is 40 , which means cost will change by 40 if output changes by 1 at q=1000
