The company expects the daily production level to rise from x = 3 to x = 5 units. The management is considering a plan that would have the effect of changing the marginal profit to MP₂(x)= -x² +14x-33. Should the company adopt the plan? Determine the area between the graphs of the two marginal profit functions from x = 3 to x = 5. Interpret this area in economic terms. C Should the company adopt the plan that would make the marginal profit be MP₂? O A. Yes, because the company will make a larger profit under the new plan. B. No, because the company's profit will be smaller under the new plan. O C. It is impossible to tell using the given information. The area between the graphs of the two marginal profit functions from x = 3 to x = 5 is sq. units.You have been hired as a marketing consultant to Johannesburg Burger Supply, Inc., and you wish to come up with a unit price for its hamburgers in order to maximize its weekly revenue.
