Essay

The long-run cost function for LeAnn's telecommunication firm is: C(q)= 0.03q². A local telecommunication tax of $0.01 has been implemented for each unit LeAnn sells.This implies the marginal cost function becomes: MC(q,t)= 0.06q + t.If LeAnn can sell all the units she produces at the market price of $0.70,calculate LeAnn's optimal output before and after the tax.What effect did the tax have on LeAnn's output level? How did LeAnn's profits change?
