2
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Motivation Revenue as an area under Demand function . q D(q)D(q) Demand Function Revenue q D(q)D(q)
3
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Total Revenue Total possible revenue is the revenue gained by charging the max price per customer Demand Function Total Possible Revenue
4
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Revenue Consumer surplus – revenue lost by charging less Producer surplus – revenue lost by charging more (i.e. “not sold” revenue) q D(q)D(q) Revenue Consumer Surplus Not Sold Demand Function
5
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Approx. area under curve Counting rectangles (by hand) Using midpoint sums (by hand) Using Midpoint Sums.xlsm (using Excel) Using Integrating.xlsm (using Excel)
6
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Counting Rectangles Ex. Approx. 9 rectangles Each rectangle is 0.25 square units Total area is approx. 2.25 square units
7
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Midpoint Sums Notation Meaning
8
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Midpoint Sums Process Find endpoints of each subinterval Find midpoint of each subinterval
9
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Midpoint Sums Process (continued) Find function value at each midpoint Multiply each by and add them all This sum is equal to
10
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Midpoint Sums Ex. Determine where.
11
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Midpoint Sums Ex. (Continued)
12
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Consumer Surplus Ex. (Continued)
13
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Midpoint Sums.xlsm
14
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Midpoint Sums.xlsm
15
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Midpoint Sums.xlsm
16
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Integrating.xlsm File is similar to Midpoint Sums.xlsm Notation: or or….
17
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Integrating.xlsm
18
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Integrating.xlsm Ex. Use Integrating.xlsm to compute
19
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Integrating.xlsm Ex. (Continued) So. Note that is the p.d.f. of an exponential random variable with parameter. This area could be calculated using the c.d.f. function
20
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Integrating.xlsm Ex. (Continued)
21
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Signed Area Values from Midpoint Sums.xlsm can be positive, negative, or zero. Values from Integrating.xlsm can be positive, negative, or zero.
22
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Consumer Surplus Ex. Suppose a demand function was found to be: Determine the consumer surplus at a quantity of 400 units produced and sold.
23
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Consumer Surplus Ex. (Continued) Total Revenue at 400 units produced and sold
24
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Consumer Surplus Ex. (Continued)
25
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Consumer Surplus Ex. (Continued) Calculate Revenue at 400 units:
26
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Consumer Surplus Ex. (Continued) Take total revenue possible and subtract revenue at 400 units $107,508.80 - $83,569.60 = $23,939.20 So the consumer surplus is $23,939.20
27
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Consumer Surplus Formula for consumer surplus:
28
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Integration Application Income Stream revenue enters as a stream take integral of income stream to get total revenue/income
29
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Fundamental Theorem of Calculus The derivative of with respect to x is applies to p.d.f.’s and c.d.f.’s
30
Ekstrom Math 115b Integration Project (What to do) Calculate the consumer surplus to answer Question #5 Use Integrating.xlsm (watch units) = 459.99 - 360.86 = $99.13 million
