10 Example: Given MCQ 6Q + 6; MR Q; and Fixed Cost. Find total profit for profit maximising firm when MRMC? Solution: ) Find profit max output Q where MR MC MRMC so Q Q 6Q + 6 gives Q Q 8 (Q - 4)(Q + 8) so Q +4 or Q - Q +4 ) Find TR and TC TR( Q ) Q dq ( ) TR( Q ) dq QdQ TR ( Q ) Q Q + so TR Q Q c

Find profit TR-TC, by substituting in value of q* when MR MC Profit TR TC TR if q*4: (4) TC if q* 4: / (4) (4) + 6(4) / (64) / Total profit when producing at MRMC so q*4 is TR TC 7-8 / 5 /

12 NOTE: Given a MR and MC curves - can find profit maximising output q* where MR MC - can find TR and TC by integrating MR and MC - substitute in value q* into TR and TC to find a value for TR and TC. then.. - since profit TR TC Can find (i) profit if given value for F or (ii) F if given value for profit

13 Definite Integration The definite integral of f(x) between values a and b is: [ F x) ] b b ( a f ( x) dx F( b) F( a) Example x dx a x () () 7 6 dx [ ] 6 x (6) ()

14 b The definite integral f ( x )dx a can be interpreted as the area bounded by the graph of f(x), the x-axis, and vertical lines xa and xb f(x) a b x
