Q = 144P^(-2.0)
Media production costs have been estimated to be
C = 5 + Q^1.5
which includes shipping, packaging and other miscellaneous charges incurred in producing the music. Prices are in U.S $ and quantity is in millions of units.

ii) What will happen in the long run when the exclusive copyright expires under the assumption that a very large number of small firm's will flood the market with the FabFour's music, i.e., the industry will become purely competitive. Big Apple has by then outsourced its manufacturing to a new firm called Digital Reproduction which chargesBig Apple $5 for each reproduction. This fee includes reproduction of the music,packaging, customer management, shipping and promotion costs. Big Apple has virtually no on-going fixed costs. Calculate the long run profit maximizing price and quantity sold.
