The market demand and supply functions for a type of carpet known as KP-7 have been estimated, respectively, as: QD = 160 – 6P, QS = – 100 + 20P. where P is the price (dollars per yard) and Q is the rate of sales (hundreds of yards per month). A typical firm in this market has a total cost function given as: TC = 100 – 22q + 2q2, where q is the firm’s output level. The optimal amount to produce for the typical firm is q =
To maximise profits, a competitive firm has a cost function, C(q) = 4q2 + 95 and produces 33 units in order to maximise profits. Although the price of output does not change, the firm decides to build a second factory with the cost function C(q) = 7q2 + 45. To maximise its profits, how many units should it produce in the second factory?
