Suppose that an industry is dominated BT a single producer, the demand for it’s product is Q=300-6p.suppose further that TC=5Q+1/480Q×2 is the cost function of the firm
The profit-maximizing quantity is produced at MR = MC, so:
Q = 300 – 6p or p = 50 – 1/6Q,
“MR = TR'(Q) = 50 – 1/3Q,”
“MC = TC'(Q) = 5 + 1/240Q,”
50 – 1/3Q = 5 + 1/240Q,
81/240Q = 45,
Q = 45×240/81 = 133.33 units.
p = 50 – 1/6×133.33 = 27.78.
