Question

A firm's profit function is $\pi(q) = R(q) - C(q) = 60q - (110 + 40q + 10q^2)$. What is the positive output level that maximizes the firm's profit (or minimizes its loss)? What is the firm's revenue, variable cost, and profit? Should it operate or shut down in the short run? The output level at which the firm's profit is maximized is $q = \boxed{\text{ }}$ (Enter your response as a whole number.)

Step 1

First, let's find the derivative of the profit function with respect to g: d/dg (60g - 110 + 40q + 10g^2) = 60 + 20g Show more…
