C. Write an equation for the total cost (tc) function in terms of q.
D. Specify the marginal cost function.
E. Write an equation for total profits ( ) in terms of q. at what level of output (q) are total profits maximized? What price will be charged? What are total profits at this output level?
F. Check your answers in part (e) by equating the marginal revenue and marginal cost functions, determined in part (b) and (d) and solving for q.
