Kelson Electronics, a manufacturer of DVRs has estimated that its marginal cost function is: MC = $150 + 0.005Q. Assume that Kelson is a price taker in a competitive market and that the market price is $175. What is the firm's profit-maximizing level of output?
Added by Mark B.
Step 1
In a competitive market, a firm maximizes profit by producing where marginal cost (MC) equals marginal revenue (MR). Since the firm is a price taker, the marginal revenue is equal to the market price. Show more…

The manager of a monopoly firm obtained the following estimate of the demand function for its output: Q = 3,000 - 100P + 0.25M + 36PR. From an econometric forecasting firm, the manager obtained forecasts for the 2018 values of M and PR as, respectively, $50,000 and $2.50. The manager also estimated the average variable cost function as AVC = 10.10 - 0.07Q + 0.0002Q^2, where AVC was measured in dollars per unit and Q is the number of units sold. The optimal level of production in 2018 is _____ units.

A manufacturer can produce at most 130 units of a certain product each year. The demand equation for the product is 15,000p = 92,100q - 4,200 and the manufacturer's average-cost function is c = 392 + 35q. Determine the profit-maximizing output q and the corresponding maximum profit.
