(x)= The total revenue from the sale of x units. (x)= The total profit from the production and sale of x units. ; is EXAMPLE 06; Assume thatthe cost of producing x computer chips O(x)= 04x? +7x-+ 95 Dollars (a) Find the cost of producing 20 chips. (®) Determine the cost of producing the 20" chip. tts (©) Determine the cost of producing no chip. Interpret the Fes Solution: (a) The cost of producing 20 items is C(20)=0.4(20)? + 7(20) +95 =$395 (b) The cost of producing the 20* chip =C(20)- C(19)=395 -372.4 =22.6 dollars vias (©) C(0)= $95. This means if no chip is produced; the manufactiring cost is $95. This is gia fixed cost It includes the cost of the machine, equipment pai! design and other expenses that exi regardless of how many chips are produced. Note: C(O) means fixed cost ‘ AA profit function P is sometimes given directly, but some times it may be necessary to determine the profit as revenue minus cost. Profit=Revenue—Cost OR P(x)=R(x)-C(x) EXAMPLE 07: It costs a manufacturer C(x)=0.4x? +7x+95 dollars to produce x computer chips. ‘They can be sold at $40 each; that is, revenue from the sale of-x chips is R(x)=40x dollars. (a) Determine the profit funetion. (®) What is the profit on the manufacture and sale of 25 chips? (c) What is the profit on the manufacture and sale of 2 chips? Solution: (@) Using P(x)= R(x)- C(x), we have P(x)=(40x)-(0.4x? +7x+95) P(x)=-0.4x? +33r-95 Dollars (6) P(2)=-0.4(25F +33(25)-95=480 ‘This means on manufacturing and sale of 25 chips, the profit will be $480. () P(2)=-0.4(2)' +33(2)-95=-30.6- The minus (negative profit) indicates a loss. This means that the company woald manufacture and sale of 2 chips. vs Hens Sen NOTE: Following point must be remembered: Profit when —R(x)>C(s) Loss when C(x)> Rx) 2.3.1 Functions in Eeonomies {tis natural 10 ask that what will be the profit when R(x)= C(x): Because P(r)= R(x)-C(x) clearly P(x)=0 when {x)= C(x): This is known as break-even point when (x)= 0 , which shows “No Loss and No Gain”. The point of intersection of the graphs of p = Rx) and y=C(x) is called the break - even point. This is depicted in the following figure. This phenomenon is a tnd No omnborant for the managers to see that how many items should be produced to have “No Gain ODDPPOD Loss Profit (c>Rr) (k>c) EXAMPLE 08: The management of a Publishing company informs the aes forms the marketing department that the profit function is P(x)= 0.08 75 bee 200 dollars where x is the number of items that are old of (a) How would mana; * Quantity iReMent react to sales of 100, (6) How many dollars of ar et! of sales are needed to break ~ even? : (a) When x=100,000, wethave P(100,000) -08(100,000) - 15,200 = -$7200- This indicates that the management will have a items. a loss of $7200 it (0) For break — even, point, the profit must be zero.
