Company A is a producer of widgets in a monopolistically competitive market structure. It is projected that as more widgets are sold Company A must offer a discount on each one to ensure adequate demand. Due to limited supplies and the cost of equipment maintenance the cost will rise as more widgets are produced.

The tables below provide data on the revenue and cost at different output levels for the year.
