    Considering a marginal cost of $50, the firm's profit maximizing price is $75

    Explanation:

    A rule of thumb used to determine if the monthly rent earned from a piece of investment property will exceed that property's monthly mortgage payment.

    Using rule of thumb pricing the profit maximising price of monopoly firm is =

    P = MC/1 + (1/Ed)

    Ed is easticity of demand for a firm, not the market. So, Ed = - 3.

    P = $50/1 + (1 / (-3)) = $50 / (1-1/3) = 50 / (2/3) = $75
