Q1- A manufacturer estimates that its variable cost for
manufacturing a product is given by the following expression: C(q)
= 25q 2 + 2000q [$] where C is the total cost and q is the quantity
produced. Derive expressions for the revenue and the profit,
substitute if q=10
Q2- Economists estimate that the supply function and demand
function for the widget market is given by the following
expressions: q = 0.2 · π − 40 π = −10q + 2000 π = 5q + 200 Draw
demand and supply curves as a function of q and calculate; a- the
demand and price at the market equilibrium.
b- For this equilibrium, calculate the consumers’ gross surplus,
the consumers’ net surplus, the producers’ revenue, the producers’
profit and the global welfare.
You have asked multiple unrelated questions in the same post. I have addressed the first question. Please post the balance question, separately.

Q - 1
C(q) = 25q2 + 2,000q
The company will produce and sell till the time revenue per unit= marginal cost
Marginal cost = dC(q)/dq = 50q + 2,000
Hence, revenue per unit = marginal cost = 50q + 2,000
Hence, expression for revenue = R(q) = Reveue per unit x q = (50q + 2,000) x q = 50q2 + 2,000q
And expresssion for profit = P(q) = R(q) - C(q) = 50q2 + 2,000q - (25q2 + 2,000q) = 25q2
