Example
Suppose the demand and cost functions are given by
Q = 21 - 0.1P and C = 200 + 10Q
Where,
Q - Quantity sold
P - Price per unit sold
C - Cost of production.
We can compute the revenue and profit as:
| Revenue |
= |
Q x P |
| |
= |
Q[210 - 10Q] |
| |
= |
210Q - 10Q2 |
| Profit |
= |
Revenue - Cost |
| |
= |
210Q - 10Q2 - [200 +10Q] |
| |
= |
-10Q2 + 200Q - 200 |
