Answer

The \[R\left( 200 \right)-C\left( 200 \right)\]is\[-6000\], and it represents that when the company produces and sells \[200\]radios, the loss is\[6000\].

Work Step by Step

The value of the profit function is, \[\begin{align} & P\left( x \right)=R\left( x \right)-C\left( x \right) \\ & =50x-\left( 10000-30x \right) \\ & =50x-10000-30x \\ & =20x-10000 \end{align}\] The value of the profit function is,\[P\left( x \right)=20x-10000\] Put \[x=200\] in the\[P\left( x \right)=20x-10000\]. Then, the value of \[P\left( 200 \right)\] is, \[\begin{align} & P\left( x \right)=20x-10000 \\ & =20\times 200-10000 \\ & =4000-10000 \\ & =-6000 \end{align}\] Hence, \[P\left( x \right)=-6000\] represent loss of \[6000\] when the \[200\] radios produced and sold.
