Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
Doubt: Is extraordinary profit for a monopolist condition as (P - MC) x Q ? This would avoids integration method of marginal cost (MC)
You mentioned Profit = TR - TC, so is true this condition for monopolist??
Can you confirm it. I urgently need these results
The development of exercise is not well seen. I can't get values mentioned, especially extraordinary profit of 56.31.
Can you please send calculations again?
How do you get values of 1,966.54 and 1,910.23?
Thank you :D
