Question

In the long run, you are given the following:

The total revenue curve is TR= -4Q^2 + 28Q +235.

The average variable cost curve is AVC = 4Q-36+(100/Q).

At what level of output should the firm operate in order to maximize profits?

Definition Definition Measure of the cost of production per unit of output, including only variable costs such as wages, materials, and utilities. AVC is calculated by dividing total variable cost by the number of units produced. Understanding average variable cost is important for businesses to make decisions on pricing, production levels, and profitability.
