- If you set a single price to maximize profits what quantity will you supply eadch year?
(Guidance: the marginal reveunue (MR) function has the same y-axis intercept as teh inverse demand function, but twice the slope. Set MR equal to MC and solve for !.
2. What is the price for treatment? (Hint plug the quantity from 1 into the inverse demand function."
3If the treatment is priced at teh marginal cost to your company, how many treatments will be proved per year?
