Assume that a monopolist faces a demand curve for its product given by: p=120−1q Further assume that the firm's cost function is: TC=580+11q What price should the monopolist choose to maximize profits?

In monopolistic competition, a firm produces 10,000 units when its marginal revenue equals its marginal cost. At this level of output, the firm's average variable cost is $4.30 and its average fixed cost is $2.10. If the firm sells the product for $5 each, at best it is earning

A company determines that the marginal cost, $C$ ', of producing the xth unit of a product is given by $C^{\prime}(x)=x^{3}-x$.Find the total-cost function, $C$, assuming that $C(x)$ is in dollars and that fixed costs are $\$ 6500 .$
