A local microbrewery has total costs of production given by the equation TC=500+10q+5q2. This implies that the firm's marginal cost is given by the equation MC=10+10q (you do not need to be able to show this). The market demand for beer is given by the equation QD=105 – (1/2)*P. a) Write the equations showing the brewery's average fixed costs .

I need to second half answered. JointJuice produces a prepackaged joint support supplement for relief of joint pain with 180 tablets per bottle and operates in a perfectly competitive market. Basically, all the firms in this competitive market have technologies (production and cost conditions) that are the same as JointJuice’s. Suppose JointJuice’s total cost function is given by the following where q is JointJuice’s quantity of packages per day: C(q) = 250 + 6q + 0.1q^2 The market demand function for the output in this market is given by: Q = 1848 - 2P If there are 20 identical firms in this industry, find the market equilibrium price for the prepackaged supplements. Calculate JointJuice’s optimal output level and profits given the market price for the product. If JointJuice is typical of the firms in this industry calculate the firm’s long-run equilibrium output, price, and profit level. - answers for first half JointJuice is a prepackages supplement-producing firm.
