8. Consider the following Demand (Price and Marginal Revenue) and Cost (Total and Marginal) relationships expressed as functions of Q: Price = P(Q) = 310 – 2Q TC = TC(Q) = 3500 + 70Q + Q2 MR = MR(Q) = 310 – 4Q MC = MC(Q) = 70 + 2Q
a. What is the profit-maximizing level of output? What is the price at that level?
b. Should the firm continue operating in the short run? In the long run?
c. At the level of output you determined in (a), what is the lowest price at which this firm should continue producing in the short run?

Firms in a competitive market can sell as much as they like at a market price of $16. The cost function for each firm is TC = 50 + 4Q + 2Q^2 The associated marginal cost function is MC = 4 + 4Q and the point of minimum average cost is Q = 5. Using the profit maximizing rule, find the short-run profit at the profit maximizing quantity.
