[25]C.2. In Brazil, each of the n firms operating in the monopolistically competitive car industry manufactures cars that are imperfect substitutes for the automobiles produced by their competitors elsewhere. All Brazilian firms have identical cost structures: Initial investment cost of a car factory is 2.65 billion (2.65x10) dollars and there is a variable cost of $20,000 per car to be manufactured. Write the total cost function of a typical car manufacturer by assuming that Q = S and use the following information to answer the following questions. lost one of The size of domestic market (S) is proxied by the country's population of 212 million (i.e., S = 212x106).
