- A firm has a linear demand function for its product. When the price of the product isSh.220, the quantity demanded is 40 units. When the price increases to Sh.240, thequantity demanded becomes 30 units. In addition, the firm’s marginal cost function isgiven by:MC = 40q – 2q2 + 2Fixed cost = Sh.5 millionWhere q = quantity demanded, MC = marginal cost (Sh. million)Evaluate the level of output that maximizes profits.1. A firm’s production function is , where Ldenotes the size of the workforce. Find the value of MPLin the case when: (a) L=1, (b) L=10, (c) L=100, (d) L=1000 Does the law of diminishing marginal productivity apply to this particular function? 2. Show that the price elasticity of demand is constant for demand functions of the form where A and n are positive constants. 3. The demand and total cost functions of a good arerespectively and a) Find expressions for TR, (profit) , MR, and MC in terms of Q. b) Solve the equation and hence determine the value of Q which maximizes profit. c) Verify that, at the point of maximum profit, MR=MC. 4.
