The demand function for an office supply company's line of plastic rulers is
p = 0.45 - 0.00045q, where p is the price (in dollars) per unit when q units
are demanded(per day) by consumers.
I think it should be:
Find the level of production that will maximize the manufacturer's total
revenue, and determine this revenue.
:
p = 0.45 - 0.00045q
:
Level of production = q
:
Revenue = quantity * price
r = q * p
;
Replace p with (.45-.00045q) in the above equation and you have
r = q * (.45-.00045q)
r = .45q - .00045q^2
Arrange as a quadratic equation:
r = -.00045q^2 + .45q
:
We can find the value of q which gives max amt by using the eq: x = -b/(2a)
in this equation that would be
q =
q =
q = +500 units need to be produced for max revenue
:
Then it says,"and determine this revenue"
Substitute 500 for q in the revenue equation (r = -.00045q^2 + .45q)
r = -.00045(500^2) + .45(500)
r = -.00045(250000) + 225
r = -112.5 + 225
r = $112.5 is the max revenue and occurs when you produce 500 units

Did this make sense to you, any questions?
