Consider a monopolist attempting to engage in limit pricing with total costs C(Q) = 100 + 2Q.The market (inverse) demand for its product is P = 100 − 2Q.Currently,the monopolist produces 30 units of output.Assuming the potential entrant has the same cost structure as the incumbent monopolist,is it profitable for the entrant to produce 10 units of output?
