Problem 2.5 The cost function for Acme Laundry is TC(q) = 10 + 10q + q^2 so its marginal cost function is MC(q) = 10 + 2q where q is tons of laundry cleaned. Derive the firm's average cost and average variable cost curves. What q should the firm choose so as to maximize its profit if the market price is p? How much does it produce if the competitive market price is p = 50
