Assume a firm is a small business and act as a price-taker in the market, the market price of the firm’s product is 20. The firm’s cost function is:
C(q) = 0.5q2+5q+100.
1. What is the firm’s optimal output level?
2. What’s the firm’s highest profit?
1. Optimal output level
Firm’s cost function is:
Under perfect competition, a firm is a price taker of its good since none of the firms can individually influence the price of the good.
To calculate the optimal level of output at which its;
Marginal Cost (MC) = Market Price (P)
2. Firm's profit
