Ajax Cleaning Products is a medium-sized firm operating in an industry dominated by one large firmâ€”Tile King. Ajax produces a multiheaded tunnel wall scrubber that is similar to a model produced by Tile King. Ajax decides to charge the same price as Tile King to avoid the possibility of a price war. The pnce charged by Tile King is $20,000. Ajax has the following short-run cost curve: TC=800,0005,000Q+100Q2 Compute the marginal cost curve for Ajax. Given Ajaxs pricing strategy, what is the marginal venue function for Ajax? Compute the profit-maximizing level of output for Ajax. Compute Ajaxs total dollar profits.
