This is by:

For Physician A: MB=25-2Q

MB=20-3Q Physician B

For Physician C., MB=15-4Q

Please use this information to derive the “market” wide demand
Partners Healthcare has a curve to digitize medical records

You can also rewrite the Demand Curve to remember that MB=P.
To assist you in this step, the demand curve is Q=a function P.

After you’ve calculated the market demand curve relevant to your situation, please
