Math Problem Statement
Suppose a product can be produced using virgin ore at a marginal cost of M*C_{1} = 0.5Q_{1} and with recycled materials at a marginal cost given by M*C_{2} = 5 + 0.1Q_{2} Suppose the inverse demand curve was given by P = 20 - 0.5(Q_{1} + Q_{2}) Under efficiency, how many units of the product would be produced with virgin ore and how many units with recycled materials?
