Cost, revenue, and profit are in dollars and x is the number of units. If the total profit function is P(x) = 3x – 18, find the marginal profit MP. MP = What does this mean? O This is the total cost. O The next unit sold costs this much to make. O This is the total revenue. O The next unit sold earns this much profit. O This is the total profit.
