Use the following information to answer questions (10)-(12).

Consider a monopoly facing a market demand corresponding to the equation: $150-0.6*Q, where P is the price level and Q is the total supply to the market. The production function of the technology operates according to: q=60+15*ln(w), where w is the unit of labor employed and q the level of production. The total cost of production follows equation: TC= q+q2. The following table summarizes the market conditions and the monopoly's production technology and cost structure.

Workers (w)	q = 60+ 15*ln(w)	P= $150 - 0.6*Q	TC = q+q²
