City Condos Construction, CCC, obtained a loan to purchase city land for a premium condominium building. CCC paid a real estate analyst $100,000 to write a report on the market.

The construction costs are $5 million (or $5m) to build one floor, $20m for two floors, $45m for 3 floors, $80m for four floors, $125m for five floors, and $180m for six floors. (Notice these values are not per floor costs.)

МС, АC, MR MC AC MR a $10 Condo Floors Given the cost and revenue information above, the numeric values for CCC's cost curves in the plot below are a = $ b = $ ,C= , and d = The optimal number of floors to build is which will generate total profits of $ million.
