उत्तर

Given, demand function is D = 50 – 3p – p2 

∴ `(dD)/(dp) = 0 - 3 - 2p`

= `- 3 - 2p`

`eta = (-p)/D * (dD)/(dp)`

∴ `eta = (-p)/(50 - 3p - p^2) * (- 3 - 2p)`

∴ `eta = (3p + 2p^2)/(50 - 3p - p^2)`

When p = 5

`eta = (3(5) + 2(5)^2)/(50 - 3(5) - (5)^2)`

= `(15 + 50)/(50 - 15 - 25)`

= `65/10`

∴ η = 6.5

∴ elasticity of demand at p = 5 is 6.5

Here,  η > 0

∴ The demand is elastic.

A manufacturing company produces x items at a total cost of ₹ 40 + 2x. Their price per item is given as p = 120 – x. Find the value of x for which revenue is increasing

Solution: Total cost C = 40 + 2x and Price p = 120 – x

Revenue R = `square`

Differentiating w.r.t. x,

∴ `("dR")/("d"x) = square`

Since Revenue is increasing,

∴ `("dR")/("d"x)` > 0

∴ Revenue is increasing for `square`


A manufacturing company produces x items at a total cost of ₹ 40 + 2x. Their price per item is given as p = 120 – x. Find the value of x for which profit is increasing

Solution: Total cost C = 40 + 2x and Price p = 120 − x

Profit π = R – C

∴ π = `square`

Differentiating w.r.t. x,

`("d"pi)/("d"x)` = `square`

Since Profit is increasing,

`("d"pi)/("d"x)` > 0

∴ Profit is increasing for `square`


A manufacturing company produces x items at a total cost of ₹ 40 + 2x. Their price per item is given as p = 120 – x. Find the value of x for which elasticity of demand for price ₹ 80.

Solution: Total cost C = 40 + 2x and Price p = 120 – x

p = 120 – x

∴ x = 120 – p

Differentiating w.r.t. p,

`("d"x)/("dp")` = `square`

∴ Elasticity of demand is given by η = `- "P"/x*("d"x)/("dp")`

∴ η = `square`

When p = 80, then elasticity of demand η = `square`
