Is the number of copies printing the efficient quantity? Explain your answer. Township is a small, isolated community served by one newspaper that can meet the market demand at a lower cost than two or more newspapers could. The Township Gazette is the only source of news. Figure 1 shows the marginal cost of printing the Township Gazette and the market demand for it. The Township Gazette is a profit-maximizing, single-price monopoly.
