1. A monopolist faces a demand curve of P = 22 - Q/(100z) and costs of c = 2 + z^2, where z is product quality. 2. Higher quality (higher z) increases demand by making Q more sensitive to changes in P. 3. If the firm must choose z = 1, 2, or 3, z = 1 will maximize profits because it has the highest profit per unit of $18.99 compared to $15.995 and $10.997 for z = 2 and z = 3, respectively.
