Business Mathematics IISample Final ExaminationThis test is only presented as a sample of the types of questions which might appear on an examination. The instructor of each section will set his or her own examinations, which may differ from the sample in both length and content.Show all of the steps and all of the work that you use to solve each problem. A list of formulas that you may find useful is provided on the last page of this test.1. Different types of trendlines have been fitted to the data from six test markets.(i) Which trendline gives the best approximation for the actual demand function, D(q)?(ii) Use the trendline that you selected in part (i) to estimate the number, q, of units that would be sold ata price of $30.2. The fixed costs for a good are $12,000 and the marginal cost is $25 per unit. Give a formula for the total cost function, C(q).3. Graphs of the demand and profit functions for a good are shown below. (i) Use the graphs to estimate the number of units that should be produced and sold in order to maximizethe profit.Polynomial Trendline$0$20$40$600 100 200 300 400qD(q)Linear Trendline$0$20$40$600 100 200 300 400qD(q)Quadratic Trendline$0$20$40$600 100 200 300 400qD(q)Demand Function$0$10$20$30$40$500 100 200 300 400 500qD(q)Profit Function-$3,000-$2,000-$1,000$0$1,000$2,000$3,0000 100 200 300 400 500qP(q)© 2002 by The Arizona Board of Regentsfor The University of Arizona.All rights reserved.- Business Mathematics II, Sample Final Examination: page 2 -(ii) Use the graphs to estimate the price per unit for the number of units that you found in part (i).4. The graph of a demand function is shown at the right.(i) Shade in the area that corresponds to the ConsumerSurplus, when q = 200.(ii) Use the graph to estimate the revenue, R(200).(iii) Use the picture to estimate the Consumer Surplus,when q = 200.(iv) Give a formula, part of which will involve an integral, for the Consumer Surplus, when q = 200.5. The revenue function for a good is R(q) =  0.3q2 + 12q. Use a difference quotient, with an increment of h = 0.01 to approximate the marginal revenue at q = 10, R (10).6. This question refers to a good whose graphs of revenue, R(q) and cost, C(q), are shown atthe right. (i) Use the above graphs to estimate the value of q at which R (q) = C (q).(ii) Marginal function number ___ could be the derivative of R(q).D(q)0 100 200 300 400 500204060$$$Marginal Function 102468100 100 200 300 400 500q$/unitMarginal Function 2-0.20-0.15-0.10-0.050.000 100 200 300 400 500q$/unitMarginal Function 3-60-30030600 100 200 300 400 500q$/unitRevenue & Cost Function$0$1,000$2,000$3,000$4,0000 100 200 300 400 500qR(q) & C(q)RevenueCost- Business Mathematics II, Sample Final Examination: page 3 -(iii) Marginal function number ___ could be the derivative of C(q).7. Fill in the boxes of the screen capture in such a way that Solver would find a value in the Cell A2 which gives Cell E2 the value of $5,000, subject to the constraint that Cell B2 is less than or equal to $27.Questions 8 and 9 refer to the following data on test markets and costs for a good. All monetary amounts are in dollars and all quantities are single units.- Business Mathematics II, Sample Final Examination: page 4 -8. From the data in Test Market 2, compute the number of units that you would expect to sell in the entire national market, at a price of $84.95.9. Sketch a graph of the marginal cost function, MC(q) for 0  q  3,000.10. Let f(x) = x3.
