Question

The management of Lorimar Watch Company has determined that the daily marginal revenue function associated with producing and selling their travel clocks is given by

R '(x) = -0.002x + 12

where x denotes the number of units produced and sold and R '(x) is measured in dollars/unit.

(a) Determine the revenue function R(x) associated with producing and selling these clocks.
R(x) =  

(b) What is the demand equation that relates the wholesale unit price p with the quantity of travel clocks demanded?
p =  

Explanation / Answer

Solution: Given R '(x) = -0.002x + 12

a)

R ' (x) = -0.002x + 12
R(x) = -0.002x^2/2 + 12x + C

R(x) = (-1/1000)x^2 + 12x + C

==========

b)

p(x) = R(x) / x
p(x) = ( (-1/1000)x^2 + 12x) / x + C
p(x) = (-1/1000)x + 12 + C
