Question

A firm is a monopoly for the good it produces. Its marginal cost function is MC = 3q^2 + 4 and it has fixed costs of 10. The demand equation for its good is given by p + q = 20, where p is the price. Find expressions, in terms of q, for the total revenue and profit. Determine the production level q that gives maximum profit, and find the maximum profit.

Step 1

The total revenue is given by the price times the quantity sold, so TR = p*q = (20 - q)*q = 20q - q^2. The total cost is given by the sum of the fixed costs and the variable costs (which are given by the integral of the marginal cost function). The variable Show more…
