- Question 5: Jimmy has a room that overlooks, from some distance, a major league baseball stadium. He decides to rent a telescope for $50 a week and charge his friends and classmates to use it to peep at the game for 30 seconds. He can act as a monopolist for renting out "peeps". For each person who takes a 30 second peep, it costs Jimmy $.20 to clean the eyepiece. Jimmy believes he has the following demand for his service: Price of a Peep $1.20 Quantity of peeps demanded 1.00 90 100 150 200 250 300 70 60 50 350 40 30 400 450 20 10 500 550 a) For each price, calculate the total revenue from selling peeps and themarginal revenue per peep.
