(b) If the marginal revenue function for output x is given by , find the total revenue by integration. Also deduce the demand function.
- (a) Let the cost function of a firm be given by the following equation: where C stands for cost and x for output. Calculate (i) output, at which marginal cost is minimum (ii) output, at which average cost is minimum (iii) output, at which average cost is equal to marginal cost .
(b) Evaluate .
- (a) Find the maximum and minimum values of the function .
(b) Solve the equations by Crammer’s rule.
- (a) The demand and supply function under perfect competition are and Find the market price, consumer’s surplus and producer’s surplus.
(b) Food X contains 6 units of vitamin A per gram and 7 units of vitamin B per gram and costs 12 paise per gram. Food Y contains 8 units of vitamin A per gram and 12 units of vitamin B per gram and costs 20 paise per gram. The daily minimum requirements of vitamin A and vitamin B are 100 units and 120 units respectively. Find the minimum cost of the product mix using graphical method.
