PakMonoG’s inverse demand function is P = 100 – 2Q and cost function is TC = 10 + 2Q, where Q is quantity in units and P price in PKR. Determine the profit-maximizing price, quantity and profit (or loss) of PakMonoG. Given your calculations in (a), illustrate the demand, marginal revenue and marginal cost curves of the firm in a graph. If we were to compare PakMonoG with a perfect competitive firm in the market, are there differences in characteristics of the two structures?
