The American Baker’s Association reports that annual sales of bakery goods last year rose 15 percent, driven by a 50 percent increase in the demand for bran muffins. Most of the increase was attributed to a report that diets rich in bran help prevent certain types of cancer. You are the manager of a bakery that produces and packages gourmet bran muffins, and you currently sell bran muffins in packages of three. However, as a result of this new report, a typical consumer’s inverse demand for your bran muffins is now P = 8 - 1.5Q. If your cost of producing bran muffins is C(Q) = 2.0Q, determine the optimal number of bran muffins to sell in a single package and the optimal package price. Instruction: Enter your response for the optimal package price rounded to two decimal places. Optimal package size: units Optimal package price: $

1. The the optimal number of bran muffins to sell in a single package is 4 units.

2. The optimal package price is $2.

Explanation:

Under the theory of production in Economics, optimal quantity is obtained when price (P) is equal to the marginal cost (MC) (i.e. when P = MC).

From the question, we have:

P = 8 - 1.5Q (1)

C(Q) = 2.0Q (2)

To obtain MC, C(Q) in equation (2) is differentiated with respect to Q as follows:

MC = C'(Q) = 2 (3)

We will equate equate (1) and (3) to have:

P = MC

8 - 1.5Q = 2

Rearrange and solve for Q:

1.5Q = 8 - 2

1.5Q = 6

Q = 6 ÷ 1.5

Q = 4.0

Therefore, the optimal number of bran muffins to sell in a single package is 4 units.

Substitute Q = 4 into equation (1), we have:

P = 8 - (1.5 × 4) = 8 - 6 = 2.0

Therefore, the optimal package price is $2.0.

there is no possible way mgk stands a chance with the greatest white rapper of all time. eminem killshots had more bars than rap devil and the reason mgk is doing all this is cause he not getting attention anymore til the release of rap devil and the disses he is putting on eminem. now rap devil was more fire than killshot so mgk might won the battle with rap devil but eminem won the war with killshot.
