The inverse demand function of a certain product is represented by p=4350-13q. Suppose the firm faces an average cost function for producing each unit of the product of AC=q²-5.5q+150. Find the output level, q, that would maximize this firm's profit, z. Verify if the maximization condition is met. If so, how much is the maximum profit?

Q: determine whether the following statements are true or false: a) Average fixed costs increase when the total volume of the produced goods increases. b) If the market price is constant, the increase in output will not affect the size of the firm's profit.
Assume that a firm’s marginal revenue curve intersects the rising portion of its marginal cost curve at 500 units of output. At this output level, a profit-maximizing firm’s total cost of production is $1,000. If the price of the product is $5 per unit, the total revenue earned by the firm will be:

(b) All values of x for which production of the commodity is profitable. (ii) The total cost of manufacturing x units during the daily production run at a factory,is C(x)= x2+ x+900 dollars. Usually,x(t)=25t units are manufactured during the first t hours of production. (a) Express the total manufacturing cost as a function of t. (b) How much will have been spent on production by the end of the third hour? (c) When will the total manufacturing cost reach $11,000?
A firm's demand and total cost function are given by the expression: P = 20 - Q/2 (1) TC = 0.5Q2 + 36 (2) Where P is price per unit in £ TC = total cost in £ Q is quantity demanded and produced. Find the profit-maximising level of output using the profit function and calculate how much profit is made at this output level.
A firm has a linear demand function for it's product.When the price for the product is Sh.220,the quantity demanded is 40 units.When the price increases to Sh.240 the quantity demanded becomes 30 units.In addition,the firm's marginal cost function is given by; MC = 40Q-2Q^2+2 Fixed cost = Sh. 5 million Where Q= quantity demanded, Mc= marginal cost(cost in Sh. Million) Required 1.The level of output that maximises profits 2.The maximum profit 3.The price of the product at a maximum profit
