Business Calculus Recall: Profit = Revenue – Cost
4-7 Revenue = x(price demand)
Marginal Cost, Revenue, & Profit
• Instantaneous rate of change relative to production at a given production level
• Derivative of Cost, Revenue, or Profit functions
• Interpretation: If [pic]= 100, then we could interpret it as, “At a production level of 3 units, the cost is increasing at a rate of $100 per unit.”
• The interpretation can be translated directly to Revenue and Profit
Average Cost, Revenue, & Profit
• The total divided by the number of units (x).
• Average cost: [pic], Average revenue: [pic], Average profit: [pic]
• Interpretation #1: If[pic], then “The average cost for producing 3 units is $100 per unit.”
• Interpretation #2: : If[pic], then “At a production level of 3 units, the average cost per unit is $100.”
Marginal Average Cost, Revenue, & Profit: [pic], [pic], [pic]
• The derivative of the Average Cost, Revenue, & Profit functions
• First find[pic], and then take the derivative.
• Interpretation: If[pic], then “At a production level of 3 units, the average cost is increasing at a rate of $100 per unit.”
The Radio Company has determined from data that it has collected that the price-demand function is given by[pic], 0 < x < 10,000. The cost given by the function[pic], where x is the number of radios produced and sold , p(x) is the price per radio in dollars, and C(x) is the total cost for producing x radios.
