(a)
Marginal cost (MC) = dSTC/dq = 2 + 0.2q
Firm's supply curve is its MC curve, so
Firm supply curve: P = 2 + 0.2q
(b)
Since firms equate market price with MC,
2 + 0.2q = 6
0.2q = 4
q = 20
P = $6
Revenue (R) = Pq = $6 x 20 = $120
STC ($) = 10 + (2 x 20) + (0.1 x 20 x 20) = 10 + 40 + 40 = 90
Profit ($) = R - STC = 120 - 90 = 30
(c)
When P = $3,
2 + 0.2q = 3
0.2q = 1
q = 5
Revenue = $3 x 5 = $15
Variable cost (VC) ($) = (2 x 5) + (0.1 x 5 x 5) = 10 + 2.5 = 12.5
Since revenue is higher than VC, the firm should continue operating in short run. However, in long run, Total cost will be $(12.5 + 10) = $22.5, which is higher than revenue and there will be a loss. So firm should exit the market in long run.
