प्रश्न

Find the elasticity of demand, if the marginal revenue is 50 and price is Rs 75.

योग

उत्तर

Given, marginal revenue `("R"_"m") = 50` and price (P) = ₹ 75

using, Rm = p`(1 - 1/η)`

∴ 50 = 75 `(1 - 1/η)`

∴ `50/75 = 1 - 1/η`

∴ `2/3 = 1 - 1/η`

∴ `1/η = 1/3` 

∴ η = 3

∴ elasticity of demand = 3

A manufacturing company produces x items at a total cost of ₹ 40 + 2x. Their price per item is given as p = 120 – x. Find the value of x for which revenue is increasing

Solution: Total cost C = 40 + 2x and Price p = 120 – x

Revenue R = `square`

Differentiating w.r.t. x,

∴ `("dR")/("d"x) = square`

Since Revenue is increasing,

∴ `("dR")/("d"x)` > 0

∴ Revenue is increasing for `square`
