Given
MC=100+0.004Q
a)Calculating marginal cost of production
At Q=2500,5000,7500
MCQ=2500=100+0.004(2500)=110MCQ=5000=100+0.004(5000)=120MCQ=7500=100+0.004(7500)=130
b)
MC=100+0.004QQ=250(MC−100)
The expression of output as a function of marginal cost.
MC100=250(100−100)=0MC125=250(125−100)=6250MC150=250(150−100)=12500
c) Profit maximizing output level
As
MC=100+0.004QMR=P=150
Profit=(P−MC)Q=(Revenue−Cost)=(150−100−0.004Q)Q=50Q−0.004Q2
Maximizing profit
dQd(profit)=0dQd(50Q−0.004Q2)=0=50−0.008QQ=850×1000=6250
Profit maximizing output level at wholesale price at 150 is 6250
