Question: The inverse demand curve of a good is given by the relation P (Q) = 100-Q, where Q is the quantity of the good. Assume initially that production costs are zero.

1. Calculate demand elasticity at purchase price 40 and purchase price 60. Comment on your findings.

2. Find the marginal revenue curve and reflect it along with the demand curve on the same chart.
