QUESTION 4 (42 marks)

Mr Clarkson is trying to decide how much (in tonnes) of product Z to manufacture. He is confident
that he will be able to sell all of product Z that he produces but notes that the amount produced will
affect the sales price per tonne he will obtain for product Z. From past experience, he finds the price
per tonne, if he manufactures x tonnes, is approximated by the function

8x2
p(x) = 255 −
x2+ 75
which is given in thousands of dollars. In addition he also notes it will cost $250 thousand per tonne
to manufacture product Z.

(a) Find a function, f (x), for the total profit (total revenue − total cost), in thousand of dollars, if
Mr Clarkson produces x tonnes of product Z.
You may assume all product Z manufactured is sold. (5 marks)
(b) Using calculus and the expression found in (a) to determine, algebraically, how much of product
Z that Mr Clarkson should produce to maximise the total profit obtained.
What is the maximum total profit?
Check your value of x by substitution into the derivative.
Also verify that you have found the maximum by using an appropriate calculus test. (37 marks)
