  • Assume that you are managing a monopoly. Your monopoly faces a downward sloping demand curve described by the equation P = 85 - 5Q.
  • Further assume that your total cost function is TC = 20 + 5Q. 
  • You are provided with the information that the MR = 85 - 10Q. (Note that MR refers to marginal revenue.)
  • Finally you are given the information that MC = $5. (Note that MC refers to marginal cost.)
