Citadelle , the Québec maple syrup producer, sells its syrup in Canada and in the United States. The demand in Canada is given by P = 36 - Q CA , where P is the price ($ per litre) and Q CA is the quantity demanded (thousands of litres per year ). The demand in the United States is given by P = 40 - Q US , where P is the price ($ per litre) and Q US is the quantity demanded (thousands of litres per year ). The cost function is C = 400,000 + 5Q, where C is the total cost (in $ per year) and Q is the total quantity produ ced ( l itres per year). Use these to answer questions 11 - 21 .
