Problem
Suppose you have the following cost function: TC(Q)=0.0004Q3 - 0.09Q2 + 25Q + 339.
a. Determine the level of output where average total cost is minimizedb. Assume that the firm is part of a less than perfectly competitive. The firm faces the following downward sloping demand curve: P = 100 - 0.55Q where P is the per-unit price. Determine the level of output where profits are maximized. Define profits as Total Revenue - Total Cost.
