Profit Maximization (Downward
... Profit Maximization (With a Downward-Sloping Demand Curve) Suppose the equation of the demand curve for a firm’s product is P = 300 – 3Q , where P is the price of the product and Q is the quantity of output produced. The total cost of production is TC = 2Q3 – 24Q2 + 300Q + 250. Showing work clearly, ...
