The Spacing Guild has a monopoly on space transport. They sell tickets(Q) for seats on starships for interstellar travel at a per-ticket price of P. Alltickets cost the same.The Marginal Cost for each seat is $20 and there are no other costs.Market demand is Q=430-3P.

- Suppose you are the owner of a firm that is an unregulated monopoly. You find that your marginal cost curve is: MC = 40 + 3Q where MC is dollar marginal cost and Q is output.
