Answer #1

a) When P=10

Q = 120-4*10 = 80

Elasticity = -4*10/80 = -0.5

b) TR is maximized when MR =0

MR is twice the slope of the demand curve

Inverse demand curve = P =30-0.25Q

MR = 30-0.5Q

30-0.5Q = 0

Q = 30/0.5 = 60

P = 30-0.25*60 = 15

c) When P =12

Q = 120-12*4 = 72

MR = 30-0.5*72 = -6
