Suppose that a firm is in a perfectly competitive market has a long-run cost function given by the following: C(Q) = 400+ 0.25Q² This implies a Marginal Cost Function also given by: MC(Q) = 0.5Q 1. Plot a figure with this firm's LRAC and MC functions. Have quantity (Q) on the x-axis, and these costs on the y-axis.
