7. Luxury Office Furniture expects to sell 1000 chairman desks in a year. Each desk
costs $150 and there is a fixed charge of $400 per order. If it costs $500 to store a
chairman desk for a year, how large should each order be and how often should
orders be placed to minimize inventory costs.

8. Suppose that the price p, in dollars, and number of sales x , of an item follow the
equation: 7 p 3x 6 px 50 . p and x are both function of time, measured in days.
Find the rate at which p is changing when x 4, p 3, and dx dt 1.25 .

9. The demand function of a product is given by p 90 x and the cost function

is C x 100 30 x , where x = number of units produced. What should be the value
of x that brings the maximum Profit? (Revenue = x.p, Profit = Revenue - Cost)

10. Use implicit differentiation:

a) 3x 2 4 y 2 xy 5 . Find dy
dx .
b) x 2 y 2 x y 2 15 . Find the equation of the line tangent at P 3, 1 .

11. A computer store sells 540 printers per year. It costs $10 to store a printer for a year.
To reorder, there is a fixed cost of $12, plus $5 each printer. How many times per year
should the store order printers and in what lot size to minimize costs?

12. Loris lemons has determined her annual lemon tree yield to be 320 lbs. per tree when
50 trees are planted. For each tree over 50, the yield decreases by 4 lbs per tree due to
overcrowding. How many trees should Lori plant to maximize her annual yield? What is
the maximum yield?

13. Given the cost function: C x 1 x 2 4 x 57 & the price function: p x 9 0.25 x
