B - Q = 15
C - Q = 16
D - Q = 30
E - Q = 33
F - none of the above
What price will the profit maximizing monopolist charge?
A - P = $100
B - P = $55
C - P = $45
D - P = $15
E - P = $10
F - none of the above
How much profit will the monopolist make if she maximizes her profit?
A - Profit = $300
B - Profit = $327.5
