With these two options, suppose the weekly inverse market demand for the Rolling Stones' song "Satisfaction" is p = 1.98 - 0.00198Q. The marginal cost to Apple Inc. of downloading a song is zero.
a. What is Apple's optimal price of "Satisfaction"? How many downloads of "Satisfaction" does Apple sell each week?

For this iPod, the inverse market demand for "Satisfaction" is p = 2.58 - 0.0129Q. What is Apple's optimal price of downloads of "Satisfaction" for this new player?
