2. Suppose the cost function for a monopoly is given by TC =F+c.q where TC is the total cost, F is the fixed cost and q is the output of the firm. The demand function for the monopoly is given by q = A-bP where A > 0 and b > 0. Find out the profit maximizing price, quantity, and profit for the monopoly.
