EthicsYou’ve recently been hired as a manager in a company with a toxic work culture. Employees regularly cut corners, gossip is common, and few trust upper management.

Extra Credit (10 Points) A large number of firms sell an undifferentiated product whose demand is given by P=200−Q. Any firm can produce the product according to TC=20Q, so that MC=20. Supply is thus P=20. Find the price and quantity sold in the market. Calculate total revenue and profits across the firms in the industry. (4 points) A manager at one of the firms (let’s call it Eureka) gets an idea for distribution that changes its cost structure to TC=10+Q+0.5Q2 so that MC=1+Q. The idea is a secret, and no other firms in the industry are able to successfully implement it. What quantity does Eureka now sell? Calculate Eureka’s revenue and profit, if any. (6 points) Hint: As this is a competitive industry, MR=20. PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK FOR FULL CREDIT AND USE THE TEXT BOX PROVIDED
