You must give up your full-time job, which paid $50,000 per year, and you worked part-time for half of the year.
The average retail price of the cookbooks will be $30, and their average cost will be $20.
Assume that the equation for demand is Q = 40,000 500P, where
Q = the number of cookbooks sold per month
P = the retail price of books.
Show what the demand curve would look like if you sold the books between $25 and $35.
Address the following questions:
- What is the elasticity of the demand for cookbooks bought this way?

- Suppose that you expect to sell about 22,000 cookbooks per month online, and assume your overhead, technology, and equipment costs are fixed. What are your total costs?
- What are your marginal costs?
- What market structure have you entered, and why?
- What can you do to guarantee success in this market?
