Suppose an avocado farm has cost C= 0.004q + 28q + 1250, (where q is measured in bushels) and the rental cost of land is zero so the average cost curve includes only the farm's costs of labor, capital, materials, and energy-not land. This cost structure is representative of all firms in this industry. The market price of avocados is $40 per bushel The firm's profit maximizing output is bushels of avocados (Round your response to one decimal place.)
