A firm has the following marginal revenue and total cost function:

MR = 140 - 2 (output)

[Math Processing Error]TC=50+10(output)+1/2(output)2

1) Determine the revenue maximization output and price. Graph the total revenue function and the total cost function on the same graph. Can you determine a break-even output from the graph?

2) Determine the profit maximization price and profit maximization output. What is the maximum profit?

3) Determine the value of the deadweight loss created in this market.

4) Illustrate graphically your answer.

5) Explain how a DWL can be generated in an imperfect market? What is meant by asymmetric information?
