3. The marginal cost function of a firm is C 0 (x) = 30 + 0.05x.
(a) Determine the cost function, C(x) if the firm’s fixed costs are R5000 per
month.
(b) How much will it cost to produce 150 units in a month?
(c) If the items can be sold at R60 each, how many should be produced to
maximise the profit?
4. The marginal cost of a certain firm is given by C 0 (x) = 24 − 0.03x + 0.006x2 . If
the cost of producing 200 units is R22500, find:
(a) The cost function.
(b) The fixed costs of the firm.
(c) The cost of producinf 500 units.
(d) If the items can be sold at R90 each, determine the production level that
will maximise profit.

5. The marginal cost of manufacturers of XY Products is C 0 (x) = 10 + 0.002x and
the cost of manufacturing 250 units is R3000. What is the cost of producing
300 units? The items sell for R15. Determine the increment in profit if the sales
volume is increased fro 1000 to 2000.
6. The marginal revenue function of a certain firm is R0 (x) = 4 − 0.01x
(a) Determine the revenue obtained by selling x units of its product.
(b) What is the demand function for the firm’s product?
7. The marginal revenue function of a certain firm is R0 (x) = 20 − 0.02x − 0.003x2
(a) Find the revenue function.
(b) How much revenue will be obtained by selling 100 units of the firm’s prod-
uct?
(c) What is the demand function for the firm’s product?
8. The marginal profit function of a firm is P 0 (x) = 20 − 0.15x and the firm made
a profit of R5000 when 100 units were sold. What is the profit fuction of the
firm?
