6. The demand function is Q = 100 –.5P. The cost function is TC = C = 100 + 60(Q) + (Q)26. The demand function is Q = 100 –.5P. The cost function is TC = C = 100 + 60(Q) +(Q)2 a. Find MR and MC. MR = 520 – 4Q MC = 100 + 2Q MR = 520 – 4Q MC = 100 + 2Q 520 – 4Q = 100 + 2Q b. Demonstrate that profit is maximized at the quantity where MR = MC. Profit = TR – TC TR = P*Q = ($380 per unit)(70 units) = $26,600 2 TC = 100Q + Q + 50 = 100(70) + (70)(70) + 50 = $11,950 Profit = $14650 c. Derive the
