Answer:

100 units , $15 , $1000

Explanation:

Marginal cost = $5

Number of subscriptions = 100   $15 a week

Number of subscriptions = 175   $10 a week

Determine the number of units  to be sold between 100 and 175 units

when he sells 100 units

Revenue = price * quantity = 15 * 100 = $1500

missed opportunity = MC * Q = 5 * 100 = $500

profit made = Revenue - missed = $1500 - $500 = $1000

When he sells 175 units

Revenue = price * quantity = 10 * 175 = $1750

missed opportunity = MC * Q = 5 * 175 = $875

profit made = Revenue - missed = $1750 - $875 = $875

Therefore to earn maximum profit ;

sell 100 units at $15 and make an economic profit = $1000
