After graduation, you start an internet-based firm that allows people to buy and sell books online. Based on your market research, you believe there are two basic types of customers
The first type is the casual reader who has relatively low willingness-to-pay for your services, and their annual demand is Q1 = 30 - 40P where Q1 is the number of books traded per year and P is the price you charge per book traded. The second type of customer is the avid reader who has relatively high willingness-to-pay for your services, and their demand is Q2 = 100 - 50P.
