Vasos,
First, do a First[] of the output of Solve since there's only one rule.
The problem with your code is that the placement of ReplaceAll is incorrect.
It's replacing the "q" inside r[q] before it evaluates r[q]. Here's one way to
do it:
In[63]:=
r[q_] := 1800*q - 0.006*q^2
c[q_] := 12100000 + 800*q + 0.004*q^2
In[65]:=
qa = First[Solve[D[r[q] - c[q], q] == 0, q]]
Out[65]=
{q -> 50000.}
In[66]:=
r[a]
Out[66]=
1800*a - 0.006*a^2
In[67]:=
r[q /. qa]
Out[67]=
7.5*^7
