I was trying to derive for A from the function: profit=PQ(P,A)-C(Q(A))-A
these are my steps
profit=Pdq/da-Cqdq/da-1
dprofit/dA=P(dq/da)-MC(dq/da)-1=0
(p-MC)change in q/change in A=1
p-mc/p[A/Q *change in q/change in A]=A
A=TR Ea/Ed
-----------
this is what is is suppose to equal after deriving i just wanted to know if my steps were correct, thanks!
