Solution:

(a) Maximum profit is the highest difference between the revenue R(q) and the cost C(q)/

Hence, the maximum profit from the given table is;


6750-6075=675

Thus, the production level is approximately at;


q\approx3000units

(b) The price P, of the product is;


\begin{gathered} P=(R(q))/(q) \\ P=(6750)/(3000) \\ P=2.25 \end{gathered}

The price is 2.25 dollars.

(c) Fixed costs are costs that do not change when sales or production volumes increase or decrease.

Thus,

The fixed costs is 3750 dollars.
