Question:
A monopolistic-ally competitive firm faces the following demand:
{eq}P = 2,961 - 9Q {/eq}
The firm's cost function is:
{eq}C = 2Q^3 - 12Q^2 + 178Q + 1,872 {/eq}
Find the quantity, Q, that maximizes profit. Round your answer to one decimal place.
Monopoly market:
Monopoly is a market structure with a single seller selling a unique product to a large number of sellers. It maximizes profit by selling the goods at which the marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
