e. able to separate consumers into different groups based on demand elasticities
Consider a market with the following demand
curve:
Q^d=1000-Yxp
Assume the marginal cost of the only firm

in terms of Y. Show your work
B.Derive an expression for the slope of the
isoprofit curve of this firm in terms of Y.
Explain.
|c.Now derive an expression for the markup
chosen by this firm in terms of Y.
d.What happens to the elasticity (part a) and
the markup (part c) if Y goes up? What can you
say about the relationship between elasticity
and the markup from this observation? Explain.
