Q. A firm has developed a new product for which it has a registered trademark. The firm's market research department has estimated that the demand for this product is Q(P,A) = 11,600 - 1000P + 20A^1/2, where Q is annual output, P is the price, and A the annual expenditure for advertising. The total cost of producing the new good is C(Q) = .001Q^2 + 4Q. This implies that the marginal cost of production is MC (Q) = .002Q + 4. The unit cost of advertising is constant and equal to one or T=1.

a. Find the inverse demand function P(Q,A), and show that the marginal revenue from an additional dollar of advertising is MR a = QA^-1/2 / 100

b. calculate the optimal output level Q* price P* and advertising level A* for the firm

c. What is firm profit if it follows this optimal strategy?

d. What is consumer surplus if the firm adopts this strategy?
