Consider a firm that sets its price (P) based on its marginal cost (MC) according to the rule (P - MC) / P = μ, where μ is a constant positive value. If this firm experiences an increase in its marginal cost, it must also increase its price to maintain the same constant markup.

Price as a Markup Over Marginal Cost
Applying a Constant Markup Pricing Rule
Consider a firm that sets its price (P) based on its marginal cost (MC) according to the rule (P - MC) / P = μ, where μ is a constant positive value. If this firm experiences an increase in its marginal cost, it must also increase its price to maintain the same constant markup.
A firm adheres to a pricing model where the difference between its price (P) and marginal cost (MC), expressed as a fraction of the price, is a constant, μ. If this constant μ is equal to 0.4, what does this imply about the relationship between the firm's price and its marginal cost?
