D. $100, 000


Sagot :

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Profit = total revenue - total cost

If price is set at $50, both the die hard and casual fans would pay because the price is below or equal to their willingness to pay

willingness to pay  is the highest amount a consumer is willing to pay for a product

(50 x 1500) - 50,000 = 25,000
