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 profit is increasing

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

Profit π = R – C

∴ π = `square`

Differentiating w.r.t. x,

`("d"pi)/("d"x)` = `square`

Since Profit is increasing,

`("d"pi)/("d"x)` > 0

∴ Profit 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`
