A company manufactures and sells x TVs per month. The monthly cost and demand equations are:

\(\displaystyle {C(x)=72000+60x}\)
\(\displaystyle {p(x)=200-\frac{x}{30}}\)

Max revenue is $3000 because
\(\displaystyle {R(x)=x(p(x))}\)
Max revenue is \(\displaystyle {R'(x)=0}\)

Max profit is $2100
\(\displaystyle {R'(x)=C'(x)}\)

Max profit is $75000

The price that should be charged to maximize profit is $130

If the government decides to tax the company $ 5 for each set it produces, how many sets should the company manufacture each month to maximize its profit?

Please think a little harder about what you write. Write what you mean. Don't make your audience guess.

Revenue: R(x) = x(p(x)) before taxes and x(p(x)-5) after taxes?
