A company operates two plants which manufacture the same item and whose total cost functions are C₁ = 5.5 +0.01(q₁)² and C₂ = 8.2 + 0.08(9₂)². where 9₁ and q₂ are the quantities produced by each plant. The company is a monopoly. The total quantity demanded, q = 9₁ +9₂, is related to the price, p, by P = 40 -0.08q.. How much should each plant produce in order to maximize the company's profit?¹ 91 92 = i

Unique Creations holds a monopoly position in the production and sale of magnometers. The cost function facing Unique is estimated to be TC=$100,000+20QTC=$100,000+20� What is the marginal cost (MC) for Unique? If the price elasticity of demand for Unique is currently –1.5, what price should Unique charge? What is the marginal revenue (MR) at the price computed? If a competitor develops a substitute for the magnometer and the price elasticity increases to –2.25, what price should Unique charge?
