1)
c(y) = y2 + 2y + 4
MC = c'(y) = 2y + 2
y = 40 - 2p
2p = 40 - y
p = 20 - y/2
MR = 20 - y
since firm is only producer so profit maximising condition is
MR = MC
20 - y = 2y + 2
20 - 2 = 2y + y
18 = 3y
y = 18/3
y = 6
profit maximising quantity is 6
2)
p = 20 - y/2
p = 20 - 6/2
p = 20 - 3
p = 17
3)
Total cost
c(y) = y2 + 2y + 4
c(6) = (6)2 + 2(6) + 4
= 36 + 12 + 4
= 52
4)
TR = py
= 17(6) = 102
Profit = TR - TC
= 102 - 52 = 50

Suppose a firm with a cost structurec(y)=y2+2y+4is the only producer of the good in the market. Market demand is given asy(p)=40−2pWhat is the profit-maximizing quantity for this firm?
Please answer both parts. thanks!
1) What are the firm’s total costs?
2) What will the firm’s profits be?
Suppose a firm with cost structure c(y)=y2 + 2y + 4 is the only producer of the good in the market. Market demand is given as y(p)=40 - 2p
Suppose a firm in a perfectly competitive market has the cost function c(y)=y2 + 2y +4 Now suppose that there is a sudden increase in demand that raises the market price to p= 8. If the demand stays at this new level, what will the long-run quantity be for each firm?
Suppose a firm in a perfectly competitive market has the cost function c(y)= y2 + 2y +4 Now suppose that there is a sudden increase in demand that raises the market price to p= 8. How much does the firm produce at this price?
D1. Suppose a firm in a perfectly competitive market has the cost function c(y)= y2 + 2y +9 What is the firm's average total cost? y + 2 y + 2 + 2y + 2
Please Answer Part 2. The market for fabric has only one producer. Assume that daily market demand for fabric is y = 100,000 - 100p, where y denotes the quantity and p denotes the unit price. Also assume that producing y units of fabric costs 100y. 1. How many units of fabric should the producer produce and sell in order to maximize profits? Calculate the profit-maximizing price and the profit. 2. Now suppose that to produce one unit of fabric...

1. Suppose that a single-price monopolist faces the demand function P 100 Q where I is average weekly household income, and that the firm's marginal cost function is given by MC(Q) 2Q. The firm has no fixed costs. = (a) If the average weekly household income is $600, find the firm's marginal revenue function. (b) What is the firm's profit-maximizing quantity of output? At what price will the firm sell that output? What will the firm's marginal cost be? (c)...
