A firm's profit is determined by subtracting the cost of production from its revenues. Suppose we have Binjin Company selling pins at a price of p = 45. Its cost function is C(V) = y³ – 9y² + 60y + 10, y 2 0, for y units of pins sold. Define the Binjin Company's profit function ¤(y) and find the interval over which i is concave and the interval over which it is convex. Draw a rough sketch of the graph of 1(y) (Hint: You will be able to sketch the graph by determining the values of T(y), t'(y), and t"(y) at critical values.).

A firm in a perfectly competitive industry has patented a newprocess for making widgets. The new process lowers the firm’saverage cost, meaning that this firm alone (although still aprice taker) can earn real economic profits in the long run. a. If the market price is $20 per widget and the firm’s marginalcost is given by MC=0.4q , where q is the dailywidget production for the firm, how many widgets willthe firm produce? b. Suppose a government study has found that the firm’snew process is polluting the air and estimates the socialmarginal cost of widget production by this firm to be. If the market price is still $20, what is thesocially optimal level of production for the firm? Whatshould be the rate of a government-imposed excise tax tobring about this optimal level of production? c. Graph your results.
A firm's demand and total cost function are given by the expression: P = 20 - Q/2 (1) TC = 0.5Q2 + 36 (2) Where P is price per unit in £ TC = total cost in £ Q is quantity demanded and produced. Find the profit-maximising level of output using the profit function and calculate how much profit is made at this output level.
