Consider a firm with the demand function P(Q) = (50 - 2Q), and the total cost function TC(Q) = 10,000 + 10Q. Find the profit maximizing quantity. Calculate the profit maximizing price (or the market price). Hint: MR(Q) = (50 - 4Q).

Step 1
First, we need to find the marginal revenue (MR) function, which is the derivative of the demand function: MR(Q) = 50 - 4Q. Show more…

Consider the following demand and total cost function: P = 100 - Q, TC = 1/3 Q^3 - 7Q^2 + 111Q + 50. (i) Formulate the profit function (ii) Find the profit-maximizing level of output (iii) What is the maximum profit?

Given the demand function P = 200 - 2Q, and total cost TC = 100Q + 100, find the maximum profit.

A firm's demand function is Q = 16 – P and its total cost function is defined as TC = 3 + Q + 0.25Q2. Use these two functions to form the firm's profit function and then determine the level of output that yields the profit maximum. What is the level of profit at the optimum? Note: MC = 1 + 0.5Q
