The market demand for a monopoly firm is estimated to be:

Q_d= 100,000 − 500P + 2M + 5,000P_R

where Q_d is quantity demanded, P is price, M is income, and P_R is the price of a related good. The manager has forecasted the values of M and P_R will be $50,000 and $20, respectively, in 2021. The average variable cost function is estimated to be

AVC = 520 − 0.03Q + 0.000001Q²

Total fixed cost in 2021 is expected to be $4 million. The profit-maximizing price for 2021 is

$260.

$560.

$520.

$80.

$100

Definition Definition Measure of the cost of production per unit of output, including only variable costs such as wages, materials, and utilities. AVC is calculated by dividing total variable cost by the number of units produced. Understanding average variable cost is important for businesses to make decisions on pricing, production levels, and profitability.
