A manufacturing company produces x items at a total cost of ₹ 40 + 2x. Their price is given as p = 120 – x. Find the value of x for which profit is increasing.
उत्तर
Let C be the total cost function.
∴ C = 40 + 2x
Profit = Revenue - Cost
∴ π = R - C
∴ π = 120x - x2 - (40 + 2x)
= 120x - x2 - 40 - 2x
∴ π = `- "x"^2 + 118"x" - 40`
∴ `("d"pi)/"dx" = - 2"x" + 118 = 2(- "x" + 59)`
Since profit π is an increasing function, `("d"pi)/"dx" > 0`
∴ 2(- x + 59) > 0
∴ - x + 59 > 0
∴ 59 > x
∴ x < 59
∴ The profit π is increasing for x < 59.

The manufacturing company produces x items at the total cost of ₹ 180 + 4x. The demand function for this product is P = (240 − 𝑥). Find x for which profit is increasing
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`
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 elasticity of demand for price ₹ 80.
Solution: Total cost C = 40 + 2x and Price p = 120 – x
p = 120 – x
∴ x = 120 – p
Differentiating w.r.t. p,
`("d"x)/("dp")` = `square`
∴ Elasticity of demand is given by η = `- "P"/x*("d"x)/("dp")`
∴ η = `square`
When p = 80, then elasticity of demand η = `square`

If elasticity of demand η = 0 then demand is ______.
In a factory, for production of Q articles, standing charges are ₹500, labour charges are ₹700 and processing charges are 50Q. The price of an article is 1700 - 3Q. Complete the following activity to find the values of Q for which the profit is increasing.
Solution: Let C be the cost of production of Q articles.
Then C = standing charges + labour charges + processing charges
∴ C = `square`
Revenue R = P·Q = (1700 - 3Q)Q = 1700Q- 3Q2
Profit `pi = R - C = square`
Differentiating w.r.t. Q, we get
`(dpi)/(dQ) = square`
If profit is increasing , then `(dpi)/(dQ) >0`
∴ `Q < square`
Hence, profit is increasing for `Q < square`
