Answer and Explanation:

A. Profit maximizing output level

P = MC

$90 = q^2 + 9

q = 9 units

B. At 9 units the profit maximizing price should be $90

C. Profit = TR - TC

            = P x Q - TC

            = $90 x 9 -( 1/3q^3 +9q + 1250)

            = 810 - (1574)

   Loss = 764

D. If the firm's price is greater than its average variable cost then the firm should continue in the short run because of positive contribution margin. However, if the P < AVC then it should stop its operations as it would have negative contribution margin.
