Question
Please answer all parts of the following question (you must show all work):
1. NetSell, a the TV remote control supplier for Lumyn Electronics, has a weekly production cost of q TV remote controls that is given by
C(q) = 0.000004q3 - 0.03q2 + 100q + 75,000
where q is in the interval [0, 10,000].
The demand function for this product is given by
p(q) = -0.005q + 200.
Based on this information, find the following:
a) The marginal cost for the company.
b) The marginal revenue for the company.
c) The marginal profit for the company when 2,000 and 7,000 TV remote controls are manufactured.
Explanation / Answer
we need revenue and profits functions and marginal functions
Revenue R(q) = q (-0.005q + 200) = 200q - 0.005q2
Profit P(q)= revenue - production cost = 200q - 0.005q2 - (0.000004q3 - 0.03q2 + 100q + 75,000)
P(q) = -75000 +100q +0.025q2 - 0.000004q3
marginal cost function C '(q) = 100 - 0.06q + 0.000012q2
marginal revenue func R '(q) = 200 - 0.01q
marginal profit function P '(q) = 100 + 0.05q - 0.000012q2
so when 2000 remote controls are manufactured (put q = 2000)
a.)marginal cost C '(q) =100 - 0.06 (2000) + 0.000012 (2000)2 = 28
b.)marginal revenue R '(q) = 200 - 0.01(2000) = 180
c.)marginal profit P '(q) = 100 + 0.05 (2000) - 0.000012 (2000)2 = 152
so when 7000 remote controls are manufactured (put q = 7000)
a.)marginal cost C '(q) =100 - 0.06 (7000) + 0.000012 (7000)2 = 268
b.)marginal revenue R '(q) = 200 - 0.01(7000) = 130
c.)marginal profit P '(q) = 100 + 0.05 (7000) - 0.000012 (7000)2 = -138
