QUESTION:

Figure 1.55 shows cost and revenue for a company.

(a) Approximately what quantity does this company have to produce to make a profit?

(b) Estimate the profit generated by 600 units.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

a)

The profit is defined by

\(\pi  = R\left( q \right) - C\left( q \right)\)                  

Here, \(R\left( q \right)\) is the revenue function, and \(C\left( q \right)\) is the cost function with the quantity q.

The company makes a profit when \(R\left( q \right) > C\left( q \right)\).
