A firm has a linear demand function for its product. When the price of the product isSh.220, the quantity demanded is 40 units. When the price increases to Sh.240, thequantity demanded becomes 30 units. In addition, the firm’s marginal cost function isgiven by:MC = 40q – 2q2 + 2Fixed cost = Sh.5 millionWhere q = quantity demanded, MC = marginal cost (Sh. million)Evaluate the level of output that maximizes profits.
