What is the level of profit? Profit equals $_______________ Suppose that a firm's production function is q=4x0.5 in the short run, where there are fixed costs of $2,000, and x is the variable input whose cost is $800 per unit. What is the total cost of producing a level of output q? In other words, identify the total cost function C(q). The total cost of producing a level of output q is O A. C(q) = 2,000 + O B....
