You the newly appointed manager of a profit maximizing monopolistically competitive firm. You decided to ensure that the firm is actually charging the profit maximizing price for its product and is producing the profit maximizing quantity. Your marketing group estimates that the demand curve faced by your firm is expressed as: P = 900 – 2Q and its total costs is expressed as: C(Q) = 2Q + Q2 a. What price would you charge? And what level of output would...
12. (15 points) a. Draw a diagram to show a profit maximizing monopolistically competitive firm in a long run equilibrium, and fully explain your diagram. This requires use of cost curves plus demand and related curves. b. Explain what aspect of the market structure gives the firm "monopoly" power, and discuss how this is represented in the diagram. c. What aspect of the market structure makes the firm "competitive". How is this represented in the diagram?

If SMC-20+2Q, AVC-1.5Q, P $100. a. Find Q b. This perfectly competitive firm will break-even if fixed cost equal how much?
once i find the profit maximizing level of output if all i have is marginal cost, average foxed cost, average variable cost, and market price in a perfectly competitive industry how do i find the firm's profit at the given level of output?
