Question
Consider a perfectly competitive firm that has a total cost of producing output given by: $T C=10 Q+2 Q^{2}$. The market price is $P=54$. Find the profitmaximizing quantity produced by the firm.
Step 1
The marginal cost is the derivative of the total cost (TC) with respect to quantity (Q). So, we have: \[ MC = \frac{dTC}{dQ} \] Show more…

Suppose that a competitive firm has a total cost func$\operatorname{tion} C(q)=450+15 q+2 q^{2}$ and a marginal cost function $M C(q)=15+4 q .$ If the market price is $P=\$ 115$ per unit, find the level of output produced by the firm. Find the level of profit and the level of producer surplus.
Suppose a perfectly competitive firm's total cost of production (TC) is TC(q) = q^3 - 8q^2 + 30q + 20, and the firm's marginal cost of production (MC) is MC(q) = 3q^2 - 16q + 30. The firm's short-run supply curve is given by
