The long run total cost curve of a typical firm in the perfectly competitive widget industry is:

TC = 6,000q - 200q2 + 2q3

where q is the output in units of widgets produced by the firm.

The long run demand curve for widgets is estimated to be:

P = 25,000 - 2Q

where Q is the number of units of widgets demanded when the price of a unit of widgets is P.
