Suppose that a group of physicians establishes a joint practice in a remote area. This group provides the only health care available to people in the local community, and its objective is to maximize total economic profits for the group's members. The adjacent graph shows the demand (D) and the marginal revenue (MR) curves for health care services as faced by the group. The price of health care services is measured in hundred dollars. The marginal cost of providing health care by the group is given to be $1,200. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, draw the marginal cost curve and label it 'MC'. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, locate the profit-maximizing price and quantity. Label it 'A'.
