         Suppose the inverse demand curve for a commodity in a perfectly competitive market takes the functional form: P (Q) = -.1Q + 10. Additionally, the firm’s marginal cost (MC) takes the following functional form: MC = 4 + 2Q. Recalling that a perfectly competitive firm is a price-taker in the market and its profit-maximizing output level (Qe) is always found by equating its price with its marginal cost: P = MC. Given all this, how much output (Qe) should the...
