The team plays in a stadium that holds 60,000 fans. It estimates that its marginal cost of attendance, and thus for tickets sold, is zero.

Calculate what it is expected to have happened to their Membership/Quantity numbers from the end of Q1, 2016 to the end of Q3, 2016. These will be their "expected" quantities without the price increase. Third, Calculate the percentage change in quantity with and without the price change Fourth, calculate Netflix's Price Elasticity of demand using the period from the end of Q1, 2016 to the end of Q3, 2016, using your previous calculations.

Each demand curve also has its own marginal revenue (MR) curve. Merge these curves into a kinked demand curve by moving the curves' endpoints to remove the unwanted sections of the curves. Then, adjust the marginal revenue curves to properly accompany the new kinked demand curve.
