b. What is the profit maximizing output and price for this firm? (2 marks)
P= RM20 , Q= 25units
c. Calculate total revenue and total cost for this firm. (4 marks)
TR = P x Q TC = AC x Q
= 20 x 25 = 500 = 30 x 20 = 600
d. Calculate the profit or loss earn by this firm. State the type of profit. (2 marks)
Tx = TR - TC
= 500 - 600
= -100

a. In which
50 market structure is this firm operating in? (1 mark)
perfect competition market structure
b. What is the profit maximizing output and price for this firm? (2 marks)
P= 200 units , Q= RM170
c. Calculate total revenue and total cost for this firm. (2 marks)
TR = P x Q TC = AC x Q
= 200 x 170 = 34000 = 180 x 200 = 36000
d. Calculate the profit or loss earn by this firm. State the type of profit. (3 marks)
Tx = TR - TC = subnormal profit
= 34000 - 36000 = -2000
e. Is this firm operating in short run or long run? Why? (2marks)
