The important thing is to make sure that you convert the demand function into inverse demand function. Which means price as a function of quantity and quantity is an independent variable because the firm's cost function is a function of quantity.
As we can see when the fixed cost of form increases to 200 the equilibrium price and quantity doesn't change which means all the cost is beared by the firm. Because fixed cost as sunk cost that is it is the cost that firm bears at 0 level of production. So fixed cost is always beared by the firm.
When the variable cost increases to 40 per unit. The equilibrium price increases by 10 per unit which means both consumers and producers bear the burden of increased cost.

What is total revenue at a price B) What is the marginal revenue of the 21st unit of output? Show the gain of S58? in revenue from the increase in output (the quantity effect) and show the loss in revenue (the price effect) from lowering the price on a graph. C) Why is marginal revenue less than price...
3. (20 points) Suppose that the daily demand for AirPods is Q = 800 - 2P, and suppose that Apple's per-day cost function for AirPods is C(Q) = 10,000 + 500. a. What are the profit-maximizing price and daily quantity of AirPods for Apple to sell? b. Now suppose that the cost function changes to C(q) = 10,000 + 70Q. What are the new optimal price and quantity? Is Apple better or worse off? Now suppose that the cost function...
