QUESTION 8Suppose the power plant should generate Qunits of electricity. There are 3 alternatives for electricity generation - (1) Hydropower, (2) Wind, and (3) Solar PV.Let 91, 92. and q3 denote the electricity generated by each method. The marginal costs of generating electriaity are MC 37 3291 (because hydropowerhas a low initial cost and high average cost because of limited quantity). MC2 - 88 + 212 (because the wind has a moderate initial cost and moderateaverage cost because of higher quantity). and MC3 - 148 • 153 (because solar PV has a high initial cost and low average cost because of unlimitedquantity). What is the maximum value of Q for which the power plant generated electricity only through Hydropower and nothing either from Wind or Solar PV?

Given MC1 = 37 +32q1 MC2 = 88 + 21q2 MC3 = 148 +15q3

= 2. The cost of operating a jet-powered commercial (passenger- carrying) airplane varies as the three-halves (3/2) power of its velocity; specifically, Co kny3/2, where n is the trip length in miles, k is a constant of proportionality, and vis velocity in miles per hour. It is known that at 400 miles per hour, the average cost of operation is $300 per mile. The company that owns the aircraft wants to minimize the cost of operation, but that cost must be balanced against the cost of the passengers' time (CC), which has been set at $300,000 per hour. At what velocity should the trip be planned to minimize the total cost, which is the sum of the cost of operating the airplane and the cost of passengers' time?
During your first month as an employee at Engro. Industries (a large drill-bit manufacturer),you are asked to evaluate alternatives for producing a newly designed drill bit on a turningmachine. Your boss’ memorandum to you has practically no information about what thealternatives are and what criteria should be used. The same task was posed to a previousemployee who could not finish the analysis, but she has given you the following information:An old turning machine valued at $350,000 exists (in the warehouse) that can be modified forthe new drill bit. The in-house technicians have given an estimate of $40,000 to modify thismachine, and they assure you that they will have the machine ready before the projected startdate (although they have never done any modifications of this type). It is hoped that the oldturning machine will be able to meet production requirements at full capacity. An outsidecompany, Descon Engg. Inc., made the machine seven years ago and can easily do the…
A trailer manufactor has multiple products designed to be towed by a pickup (Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma, etc). The production of one of their products - the XL7 5x10 trailer - referred to as XL7510 here, has a fixed 9 cost of $62,308 and a variable cost per unit of XL7510 equal to 202 + - dollars, where is the total 10 number of XL7510s produced. Suppose further that the selling price of this product is 1118 The x-values of the break-even points are The maximum revenue is Form the profit function: P(x) = = The maximum profit is The price that will maximize profit is 1 - dollars per unit of XL7510. 10 dollars (round to the nearest cent) dollars (round to the nearest cent)

(a) Write the cost, revenue, and profit equations for Jenni’s hat buisness. (b) Determine the profit if 13 hats are sold.(c) Determine thebreak-evenpoint.
Complete solution pls A local defense contractor is considering the production of fireworks as a way to reduce dependence on the military. The variable cost per unit is $40D. The fixed cost that can be allocated to the production of fireworks is negligible. The price changed per unit will be determined by the equation p=$180-(5)D, where D represents demand in units sold per week. a.What is the optimum number of units the defense contractor should produce in order to maximize profit per week? b.What is the profit if the optimum number of units are produced?
