OPTIMIZE PRIME!


A company has started selling a new type of smartphone at the price of $110. 0.50x where x is the number of smartphones manufactured per day. The parts of each smartphone cost $50 and the labor overhead for running the plant cost $6000 per day. How many smartphones should the company make and sell per day to maximize profit. (Remember that Profit= revenue – cost)

Solution : 

P = the profit per day

X = the number of items manufactured per day

Function to maximize p=x(110 - .50x) – (50x +6000) where 0<x<∞

= optimal number of smartphones to manufactured per day is 600
