Consider a monopolistically competitive firm that faces demand curve P=160-3Q and total cost curve TC=100+Q². If this firm is profit-maximizing, what is the value of the average total cost (ATC) evaluated at Q*? (note: I am not asking for total costs. It's the value you would mark on your graph when you plug Q* into the ATC curve).

In the short run this firm should Multiple Choice reduce product price. increase the level of output. decrease the level of output. not change the level of output.

ou are hired as a consultant to a monopolistically competitive firm. The firm reports the following information about its price, marginal cost, and average total cost: P<MC, P>ATCP<MC, P>ATC Which of the following statements are true about the firm? Check all that apply. The firm is possibly maximizing profit. The firm is in long-run equilibrium. The firm can increase its profit by reducing its output.
If this monopolistic firm's marginal cost is constant at $30, its profit maximizing output is: (Hint: Demand is linear (P-a-bQ) implying that the MR curve's slope is twice the demand curve slope; find the demand curve and then the MR curve.)
