Bavarian Crystal Works designs and produces lead crystal wine decanters for export to international markets. The production manager of Bavarian Crystal Works estimates total and marginal production costs to be

TC = 10,000 + 40Q + 0.0025Q²

and

MC = 40 + 0.005Q

where costs are measured in U.S. dollars and Q is the number of wine decanters produced annually. Because Bavarian Crystal Works is only one of many crystal producers in the world market, it can sell as many of the decanters as it wishes for $70 apiece. Total and marginal revenue are

TR = 70Q

and

MR = 70

where revenues are measured in U.S. dollars and Q is annual decanter production.
