A company participating in a market of perfect competition invoices monthly 154,200 units, the sum of $308,400,000, so P = $2,000 With this level of sales, the company has saturated its production capacity and as a result its costs have risen sharply. Its marginal cost (MC) is MC = (q2 / 2,000,000) - (q / 20) + 2,450. It is determined that its fixed costs (FC) amount to $20,500,000. You want to know: (a) whether the company should increase or decrease its production and by how much. b) what would be the optimal level of production (q*)? c) what is the profit at the optimal level of production? d) what is the company's current profit?
