Use the following to answer this question, which involves a profit-maximizing monopolist.  Using time-series data, the demand function for the monopolist has been estimated as Qd = 142,000 – 500P + 6M – 400PR where Qd is the amount sold, P is price, M is income, and PR is the price of a related good.  The estimated values for M and PR in 2021 are $25,000 and $200, respectively.  The marginal cost curve for this firm has been estimated as: MC = 200 – 0.024Q + 0.000006Q2. Fixed costs are forecast to be $500,000 in 2021. What is the profit-maximizing level of production?
