The accompanying table shows the demand schedule for Vitamin D. Suppose the marginal cost of producing vitamin D is zero
price of Vitamin D ($8,$7,$6,$5,$4,$3,$2,$1)
quantity of vitamin D (0,10,20,30,40,50,60,70)
a) Suppose that company A is the only producer of vitamin D and act as a monopolist.Suppose the company produces 40 units of vitamin D at $4/unit. if the company decides to produce 10 units more, what is the price effect? what is the quantity effect? would the company then have an incentive to produce 10 more units?
