Problem

An online retailer sells a limited-edition gadget at a fixed price of 8080 dollars per unit. The total monthly cost, in dollars, of producing qq units is C(q)=10000+30q+0.01q2.C(q)=10000+30q+0.01q^2. Assume the retailer can sell every unit produced. (a) Derive the monthly profit function P(q)P(q) in terms of qq. (b) Determine the production level qq that maximizes monthly profit. Show all necessary calculus steps. (c) Compute the maximum monthly profit, rounding to the nearest dollar.
