When I worked out part a of the problem I got a quantity of 3 as the profit maximizing level of output, but when I plugged that into the profit equation I got a
-32 so I'm thinking that this may be incorrect.

I also went ahead and attempted to work part b. I came up with 40 firms to supply the market, but this is based off the quantity of 3 that I got from part a.

As for part c and d, i am just completely clueless. I don't even know what numbers to use.
