P= 1200 - 6q (demand curve for the monopoly)
c = 8600 + 20q + q2 (total cost function for the monopoly)
mc = 20 + 2q (marginal cost function for the monopoly)

(round all answers to two decimal places)
to maximize profit, the monopolist should produce units of output.
the company's profit -maximizing price is $
the monopolist's profit is $

suppose the government imposes a specific tax of $200 per unit on the monopolist. to maximize profit, the monopolist should now produce units of output. when the tax is imposed, the monopolist's profit-maximizing price becomes $ as a result of the tax, the monopolist raises its price by (choose one: more than the tax/the same amount as the tax/less than the tax).
