Question

The demand function Q and cost function C(Q) of a commodity are given by the equations

Q=200.01P,Q=20-0.01P,

and

C(Q)=60+6Q,

where P and Q are the price and quantity, respectively. The total revenue function (TR) in terms of P is

Solution

The total revenue (TR) is the price (P) times the quantity (Q).

First, we need to express Q in terms of P from the demand function:

Q = 20 - 0.01P

Next, we substitute Q into the total revenue function:

TR = P * Q = P * (20 - 0.01P)

Simplify the equation:

TR = 20P - 0.01P^2

So, the total revenue function in terms of P is TR = 20P - 0.01P^2.
