The United States currently imports all of its coffee. The annual demand for coffee by U.S.

consumers is given by the demand curve Q = 25010P . World producers can harvest and ship

coffee to U.S. distributors at a constant marginal cost of $8 per pound (assume AC = MC).

U.S. distributors can in turn distribute coee for a constant $2 per pound. The U.S. coffee
