The supply function of a producer is given by p=35e3xp = \frac{3}{5}e^{3x}, where xx denotes a thousand units. If sales are 4000 units, then the producers' surplus is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

With 4000 units, x0=4x_0=4 and p0=35e12p_0=\frac35e^{12}. Producer surplus =x0p0−∫0435e3xdx=125e12−15(e12−1)=115e12+15=x_0p_0-\int_0^4\frac35e^{3x}dx=\frac{12}{5}e^{12}-\frac15\left(e^{12}-1\right)=\frac{11}{5}e^{12}+\frac15.
