- Suppose the cost function for a firm is given by C(Q) = 100 + Q?. If the firm sells output in a perfectly competitive market and other firms in the industry sell output at a price of $10, what level of output should the firm produce to maximize profits or minimize losses? What will be the level of profits or losses if the firm makes the optimal decision?Suppose the cost function for a firm is given by C(Q) = 100 + Q2. If the firm sells output in a perfectly competitive market and other firms in the industry sell output at a price of $10, what level of output should the firm produce to maximize profits or minimize losses? What will be the level of profits or losses if the firm makes the optimal decision?Assume a competitive firm faces a market price of $100, a cost curve of: C = 0.25q + 50q + 1,600 and a marginal cost curve of: MC = 0.50g + 50. The firm's profit maximizing output level is 100.00 units, the profit per unit is $9.00, and total profit is: $900.00. However, if the firm wanted to maximize the profit per unit, how much would it produce? It would produce units. (round your answer to two decimal places) If the firm produced this output level, what would be the profit? Its profit would be S. (round your answer to the nearest penny)
