Answer 1:
Demand function: Q = 1000
Inverse Demand function:
Taking natural logarithm on both sides, we get:
lnQ = ln1000 – 0.2P
lnQ = 6.91 – 0.2P
P = 34.55 – 5lnQ
Profit condition:
Profit = Q [34.55 – 5lnQ] – 2Q-100
First order condition:
34.55 – 5[lnQ+1]-2 = 0
5lnQ = 27.55
lnQ = 5.51
Q = 247.15
P = 34.55-5lnQ
P = 34.55-5*5.51
P = 7
Second order condition:
Differentiating 34.55 – 5[lnQ+1]-2, we get:
-5/Q
= -5/247.15
= -0.02 (negative value)
Since the second derivative is negative, it confirms that the P and Q are the profit maximizing price and
quantity.
Answer2:
a) P =

2
Revenue = Q*
