Zap Electronics produces advanced function, hand-held calculators. Its subsidiary, LQ Displays, produces display modules which Zap uses in each calculator. LQ operates in a competitive market; each display sells for $5.00 on the open market. Management has determined that the demand curve for quantity sold per month of the hand-held calculators is:
Q_c = 25,625 - 125P_c
while Zap's marginal cost for hand-held calculators, excluding the cost of the display module is:
MC_c = .004Q_c
