A local company is planning to manufacture and market a four-slice toaster. For this toaster, the research department’s estimates are aweekly demand of 300 toasters at a price of $25 per toaster and a weekly demand of 400 toasters at a price of $20. The financial department’s estimates are fixed weekly costs of$5,000 and variable costs of $5 per toaster. a) Assume that the relationship between price ? and demand ? is linear. Use the research department’s estimates to express ? as a function of ? and determine the domain of the function. b) Using your knowledge from Finite Math, determine the Revenue function in terms of ?. c) Determine the Marginal Revenue at 2 different production levels for example 250 and 500 units. Interpret these results. (HINT: Consider what a positive or negative first derivative implies) d) Assume that the cost function is linear.
