To determine the most money you can hope to earn from your business, it is essential to refer to the equation from part C:
Total Revenue = Price x Quantity
In part B, you mentioned that the demand equation for your business is given by:
Quantity = 50 - 2 x Price
Combining these two equations, we can express Total Revenue solely in terms of Price:
Total Revenue = Price x (50 - 2 x Price)
Expanding and rearranging the equation:
Total Revenue = 50Price - 2Price^2
To find the maximum revenue, we need to find the vertex of the parabolic function represented by this equation. The vertex can be found using the formula:
x = -b/(2a)
where a = -2, b = 50.
x = -50/(2*-2)
x = -50/(-4)
x = 12.5
To find the corresponding price, we substitute x = 12.5 into the demand equation:
Quantity = 50 - 2 x Price
12.5 = 50 - 2 x Price
2 x Price = 50 - 12.5
2 x Price = 37.5
Price = 37.5/2
Price = 18.75
Therefore, the optimal price to maximize revenue is $18.75 per unit.
To calculate the most money you can hope to earn, substitute this price back into the revenue equation:
Total Revenue = Price x (50 - 2 x Price)
Total Revenue = 18.75 x (50 - 2 x 18.75)
Total Revenue = 18.75 x (50 - 37.5)
Total Revenue = 18.75 x 12.5
Total Revenue = 234.375
Hence, the most money you can hope to earn from your business is $234.375.
