Question

1. Company X, operating in a perfectly competitive industry, just purchased its fixed equipment to start production. Its total cost(TC) as a function of the quantity(Q) is given by TC(Q) = 5,000,000 + 5Q +Q2/10,000. Market price per unit is $200. After X completed the production but right before taking the products to the market to sell, a competitor company, Y, makes an offer. According to Ys offer, if X does not take its products to the market, Y agrees to buy Xs fixed equipment at a 50% below what was paid by X and pay 2% more than the market price for every unit produced by X. Should X accept or reject this offer?

1000 is dividing the Q^2 term only, not the whole equation.
