Each Saturday, Matthew and Anna work together to decide how many litres of water to pump, bring the water to town, and sell it at whatever price the market will bear. To keep things simple, suppose that Matthew and Anna can pump as much water as they want without cost; therefore, the marginal cost of water equals zero.
The weekly town demand schedule and total revenue schedule for water is reflected in the table.
