b. Suppose that the flat per-month tax is replaced with a tax on the firm of $25.00 per cable subscriber. Now how many subscriptions should Comcast sell if it wants to maximize profit? What price should it charge? What is its profit? (Assume that Comcast will sell only the quantities listed in the table.)
