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 you produce to maximize profit? b. How much profit will you be able to earn? c. Is this likely to be a long-run equilibrium for the company? Why or why not? If not, what is likely to happen in the market, and how will it affect your firm?
