Interns,
Mr. Howell, the prestigious founder and owner of our company would like you to perform an analysis on the company’s weekly revenues. He is requiring that the current weekly marginal revenue be at least $5,000 per week and if it is not currently at that level how fast should sales be changing to reach the target marginal revenue level. The most current information regarding weekly revenues can be found in Mr. Howell’s email below.
To be solved using derivatives.
“Mr. Kleppin,
It has come to my attention that our weekly marginal revenues may not be at the minimum level of $5,000 per week as I required. According to the sales report, we are currently selling 1,000 DVD’s per week and sales are currently rising by 200 DVD’s a week (gotta love the Marvel Universe! Customers can’t get enough!). They also inform me that our current selling price is $20 and that the price is dropping by $1 per week to encourage more sales. I would like you, Mr. Kleppin, to give the interns a chance to earn one of the 10 available positions at the end of their internship by giving them the opportunity to do the analysis. Again, I need to know if we are at the minimum level of $5,000 per week in marginal revenue, and if not, at what level should our sales per week be at so as to achieve the minimum marginal revenue level.”

On June 15, 2016, Sanderson Construction entered into a long-term construction contract to build a baseball stadium in Washington, D.C., for $400 million. The expected completion date is April 1, 2018, just in time for the 2018 baseball season. Costs incurred and estimated costs to complete at year-end for the life of the contract are as follows ($ in millions): |
| 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | |||||||
| Costs incurred during the year | $ | 90 | $ | 60 | $ | 80 | |||
| Estimated costs to complete as of December 31 | 150 | 50 | — | ||||||
| Required: | |
| 1. |
Compute the revenue and gross profit will Sanderson report in its 2016, 2017, and 2018 income statements related to this contract assuming Sanderson recognizes revenue over time according to percentage of completion. (Enter your answers in million. Use percentages as calculated and rounded in the table below to arrive at your final answer. Losses and expenses should be indicated with a minus sign.) |
| 2. |
Compute the amount of revenue and gross profit or loss to be recognized in 2016, 2017, and 2018 using the completed contract method. (Enter your answers in millions.) |
| 3. |
Suppose the estimated costs to complete at the end of 2017 are $150 million instead of $50 million. Compute the amount of revenue and gross profit or loss to be recognized in 2017 using the percentage of completion method. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions. Round your answers to 1 decimal place.) |

Your business has estimated its total cost to be TC = 3800 + 0.25Q + 0.0018Q2; its marginal cost is thus MC = 0.25 + 0.0036Q, where Q is the amount of pieces provided and TC is in dollars. Because your market is moderately competitive, your business is capable of selling its output for $12.85 each (which therefore produces MR = 12.85 and TR = 12.85Q).
a. Make a table in Excel showing TC and TR with Q on the horizontal axis. Have Q go from 0 to 10,000 units (each row of your Q column can grow by a relatively large number so that your table isn’t large). Create a second table displaying MC and MR with Q again on the horizontal axis.
b. What is the optimal level of output for your business to produce/sell? What is the marginal revenue of the final unit sold?
c. What are the total revenue, total cost, and profit (net benefit/net revenue/etc.) of selling the optimal amount of units?
d. An eager worker at your business hints that, because the business makes $12.85 revenue for each unit sold, then the company could make still more profit by selling more than the level chosen in part b; why would your business not want to make and sell more output than the level you picked in part b?
