Continuing with the equations: P = 80 - 23Q MC = 20 + 3Q Note: MR = 80 - 4/3Q = 80 – 4Q – ½Q = P – Q = P- (dP/dQ)Q = P(1 – 1/ED) %3D %3D Setting MC = MR yields the profit-maximizing markup over marginal cost: %3D MC = P(1 - 1/ED) P = MC[1/(1 – 1/ED)] %3D (P - MC)/P = 1/ED %3D %3D a. Assume the market is monopolized. Find Q*, P*, and the elasticity of demand ED at the profit- maximizing point and verify that the markup equation is satisfied: Q* = %3D P* = ED = %3D (P- MC)/P = %3D b. Assume the market is monopsonized. Using the procedure in (a), which found MR as a function of P and ED, find a formula for marginal expenditure (ME) as a function of P and Es.

I am trying to answer number 5 with the table provided. I was provided in my lesson with the equation MU1/P1=MU2/P2 but I am having trouble trying to figure out what Numbers to plug into the equation from the table.
can you show me steps to solve this
Please give a detailed solution with an explanation. Please make sure the graph is visible, clear, and detailed. Make sure to include the new equilibrium coordinate point as well.
C. Suppose your neighbor is a physics major who also races motorcycles, and she tells you that horsepower can be expressed in terms of the following equation: H = MDA/S where M=mass, D-distance, A=acceleration and S and H are as defined above. Based on this conversation with your neighbor, you decide to change the functional form of the relationship to include 1/H rather than H as an explanatory variable because that's the appropriate theoretical relationship between the two variables. Estimate the above equation, substituting 1/H for H. Which of the two models do you prefer and why?
Could you solve d,e,f ? Thank you
In 1928, Charles Cobb and Paul Douglas published a study in which they modeled the growth of the US economy during the period 1899 to 1922. The function used to model production was of the form: (1) P(L, K) = 6LªK!-a where P is total production (monetary value of goods produced in the year); L, the amount of work (total number of person-hours worked in a year); and K, the amount of capital invested (monetary value of machinery, equipment and buildings). In these terms, the hypotheses made by Cobb and Douglas can be stated as follows: (i) If either labor or capital cancel each other out, so does production. (ii) The marginal productivity of labor is proportional to the amount of output per unit of work. (iii) The marginal productivity of capital is proportional to the amount of production per unit of сapital. 1. The output per unit of work is (a) Tick the alternative that, for some constant a, describes the hypothesis (ii) = aP·L. = a. P () aL L P = a. (b) If we keep K constant, K = K0,…
