A firm sells its product in a perfectly competitive market where other firms charge a price of $80 per unit. The firm’s total costs are C(Q) = 60 + 12Q + 2Q2.

a. How much output should the firm produce in the short run?
units
b. What price should the firm charge in the short run?
$
c. What are the firm’s short-run profits?
$

A) Q=17

B) $80

C) 518

Explanation:

C(Q) = 60 + 12Q + 2Q2

and its MC = 12+ 4Q

a.How much output should the firm produce in the short run?

Put P = MC and solve for Q

P＝MC

80=12+4Q

4Q=68

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

Q=17

b.What price should the firm charge in the short-run? $80

c.What are the firm’s short-run profits?

Hint:

Profit=Total Revenue-Total CostTotal Revenue=$80x17=1360

TotalCost=60+12x17+2(17)2=60+204+578=842

Profit=1360-842=518

(i know i'm late but the answer's "things about yourself" because you want to list things you're capable of, why you want to open up the business, the amount of money you're putting into it,etc.) i'm guessing you take online school small business, the answers to the quizzes are all over quizlet. just look up your question and type quizlet after it and it'll pop up.
