Q. Consider the production function q = K0.5L0.5 for a firm operating in a perfectly competitive market. Suppose that, in the short run, the amount of capital is fixed at 1. The wage paid to each worker is $2 and the cost of capital is $1 m. If this firm for some reason, all of a sudden, becomes a monopolist, write out its average revenue function
