Suppose a monopolist has {eq}TC = 100 + 10Q + 2Q^2 {/eq}, and the demand curve it faces is {eq}P = 90 - 2Q {/eq}. What will be the price, quantity, and profit for this firm?
Monopoly:
A Monopoly is a firm that is the only producer of a given good in the market. The producer in a monopoly is known as a monopolist. Monopolies exist when there are significant barriers to entry into a market and the existing producer sets the prices and purchases its raw materials at negotiated low prices.
