30 Labor is paid a wage of $50/day.
All output is per day.
Where:
TP = total product; output; or quantity
MP = marginal product
AP = average product
TFC = total fixed cost
TVC = total variable cost
TC = total cost
AFC = Average fixed cost
AVC = average variable cost
ATC = Average total cost
MC = marginal cost

marginal cost of:
ATC = MC = 5
The monopoly faces a demand curve given by the following function:
Q= 53-P
And a marginal revenue curve that is given by the function:
MR = 53 – 2Q
a) Draw the following:
a. The firm’s demand curve
b. The firm’s marginal revenue curve
c. The firm’s marginal cost curve
b) What is the monopolist’s profit maximizing price?
c) What is the profit maximizing quantity for this monopolist?
d) How much profit is the monopolist making?
e) Suppose the market is no longer depicted by a monopoly, but has become
perfectly competitive. What would the profit maximizing price and quantity be if
the market were perfectly competitive?
