The marginal revenue of a firm is given by the following equation: MR(Q) = 22 + 21Q + 16Q2 Where, Q represents the quantity produced. Also given, the total revenue of the firm, when they produce 5 units of output, is 50, i.e., TR(5) = 50. Calculate the firm's total revenue function. What is the value of the constant term in the total revenue function? Answer in two decimal places. Be careful about the sign.

Automobile manufacturing is an industry subject to significant economies of scale. Suppose there are four domestic auto manufacturers, but the demand for domestic autos is no more than 2.5 times the quantity produced at the bottom of the long-run average cost curve. What do you expect will happen to the domestic auto industry in the long run?
For a firm with a Total Cost function TC C(Q), recall that the definitions of Marginal Cost (MC) and AverageTotal Cost (ATC) are given as follows:Marginal Cost (MC) = C'(0)Average Total Cost (ATC) = C(Q)/QProve that the marginal cost is equal to the average total cost (MC = ATC) when the average total cost is at itsminimum value.(Hint: By using the definition of average cost function, find the quantity that minimizes it by applying unconstraint optimization.Show that the FOC of the minimization problem implies that MC=ATC has to be satisfied at the minimum level of average cost.)

Break-Even The total revenue function for Frenchdoor refrigerators is given by R = 550x dollars, andthe total cost function for this same product is givenby C = 10,000 + 30x + x2, where C is measured indollars. For both functions, the input x is the numberof refrigerators produced and sold.a. Form the profit function for the refrigerators fromthe two given functions. b. What is the profit when 18 refrigerators areproduced and sold?c. What is the profit when 32 refrigerators areproduced and sold?d. How many refrigerators must be sold to breakeven on this product?
A firm has a linear demand function for its product. When the price of the product isSh.220, the quantity demanded is 40 units. When the price increases to Sh.240, thequantity demanded becomes 30 units. In addition, the firm’s marginal cost function isgiven by:MC = 40q – 2q2 + 2Fixed cost = Sh.5 millionWhere q = quantity demanded, MC = marginal cost (Sh. million)Evaluate the level of output that maximizes profits.
. An electricity producer has a constant marginal cost of production equal to $40 per megawatt. The residual demand for its electricity is given by P (q) = a−bq, where P is the price and q is the quantity of power generated by this producer. The producer knows the slope, b, but he vertical intercept of the residual demand curve, a is unknown. Assume A and B are greater than zero. If you get stuck, you may answer any of the following questions for special case where a = 80 And b = 0.5 for partial credit. (a) What is the marginal revenue, M R(q), for this producer? b) What is the optimal q for this producer? (c) What is the electricity producer’s optimal price? (d) What is the electricity producer’s optimal bid in a uniform price Auction? e) Suppose b is equal to zero. Would the producer have an incentive to submit a bid above its marginal cost? Explain.
Consider total cost and total revenue given in the following table: TABLE IN IMAGE Calculate profit for each quantity. How much should the firm produce to maximize profit?(ii) Calculate marginal revenue and marginal cost for each quantity. Graph them. (Hint: Put the points betweenwhole numbers. For example, the marginal cost between 2 and 3 should be graphed at 2½.) At what quantitydo these curves cross? How does this relate to your answer to part (a)?(iii) Can you tell whether this firm is in a competitive industry? If so, can you tell whether the industry is in along-run equilibrium? (8.75)
