TC = 20 - 3 Q^2 +2 Q^3, Pd =200 -0.25Q. To find the quantity supplied by the firm and the price charged we should find the point, where MR = MC. MC = TC' = 6Q + 6Q^2 MR = TR' = (P*Q)' = (200Q - 0.25Q^2)' = 200 - 0.5Q 6Q + 6Q^2 = 200- 0.5Q 12Q^2+ 13Q - 200 = 0 D = 169 + 4*12*200 = 9769 Q = (-13 + 98.8)/24 = 3.58, so Q = 4 P = 200 - 0.25*4 = $199
TP= P*Q - TC = 199*4 - 100 = $696, so firm is making profit.
