The graph to the right shows the demand curve and the marginal cost curve for a firm in a monopolistically competitive market, selling information products such as computer software. 1.) Using the 3-point curved line drawing tool, show the approximate shape of the firm's ATC curve, given that the firm experiences economies of scale. Label it 'ATC'. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, identify the firm's long-run price and quantity. Label it 'E'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.

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.
