7. In a given week, a store sells 100 tablets at \(\$ 120\) each. A quick market survey indicates that for each \(\$ 8\) rebate offered to buyers, the number of units sold increases by 32.
(a) Assuming a linear demand function \( p=p(x)\) where \( x \) is the number of units sold and \( p(x)\) is the unit sale price at sales level \( x \), write the formula for \( p(x)\).
(b) Write the formula for the revenue function \( R=R(x)\).
(c) Assume now that the cost of selling \( x \) tablets consists of a fixed cost \( C_{0}\) of \(\$ 3000\) and a variable cost based on an acquisition cost of \(\$ 45\) per tablet. Write the formula for the total cost function \( C=C(x)\).
(d) Write the formula for the profit function \( P=P(x)\) and graph it on the interval [35,400]. What kind of curve do you see? Identify its \( x \)-intercepts and both coordinates of its peak. Hint: You can use GeoGebra to graph the function and inspect it
(e) Determine the marginal profit. Set the marginal profit to zero and solve for \( x \). Reconcile your answer with (d) above and explain.
(f) What is the average profit per unit when the profit is maximized?
(g) Is the maximum average profit per unit the same as the average profit per unit at maximal profit? Yes or No? Justify your answer.
