Question:

A company’s cost of producing q liters of a chemical is C(q) dollars; this quantity can be sold for R(q) dollars. Suppose C(2000) = 5930 and R(2000) = 7780.
(a) What is the profit at a production level of 2000?
(b) If MC(2000) = 2.1 and MR(2000) = 2.5, what is the approximate change in profit if q is increased from 2000 to 2001? Should the company increase or decrease production from q = 2000?
(c) If MC(2000) = 4.77 and MR(2000) = 4.32, should the company increase or decrease production from q = 2000?
