1)For a monopolistic firm demand and total cost (TC) functions are as follows:
q = 230 – (1/2) P and TC = 20 + (1/2) q^2
What is the equilibrium level of P (P*) that maximizes the profit of firm?
2)) If the total cost function (TC) of a competitive firm is TC = 20 + 0.2 Q^2 and the price is (P) = 400 what is the equilibrium level of quantity (Q*) that maximizes profit?
q = 230 – (1/2) P and TC = 20 + (1/2) q^2
What is the equilibrium level of P (P*) that maximizes the profit of firm?
2)) If the total cost function (TC) of a competitive firm is TC = 20 + 0.2 Q^2 and the price is (P) = 400 what is the equilibrium level of quantity (Q*) that maximizes profit?

Buyers are willing to purchase original paintings for $1000, and indistinguishable first-copies for $200. Sellers are willing to sell original paintings for $900 and first-copies for $150. Buyers believe that 50% of the paintings in the market are first copies.
Buyers cannot distinguish between original paintings and first-copies, but sellers know with absolute certainty whether the art that they own is an original or a first copy.
Only first-copies are sold in the market because of which of the following reasons?
