An office supply company manufactures and sells X permanent markers per year at a price of P €/unit. The Price/Demand equation for the markers is: P= 7 − 0.002X
The total cost of manufacturing is: C(X) = 1000 + 2X
PROFIT FUNCTION = 5X -1000 - 0.002X2
PROFIT MAXIMIZATION = 1250 MARKERS , PRICE= 4.5
QUESTION: Draw a graph representing the above-mentioned situation.
Solution :
The given information is
The Price/Demand equation for the markers is:
The total cost of manufacturing is:
Profit function =
Profit maximization = 1250 Markers , Price= 4.5
When Marginnal cost = Marginal revenue then profit maximization stated
So,
Marginal cost is
The Revenue is
Marginal revenue is
When Marginnal cost = Marginal revenue equilibrium is attained.
The point is (1250,2).
The point at demand curve corresponding to the point where MC=MR is equilibrium point.
It is shown in the diagram below.
The shaded area is the profit.
