Solution

To find the highest price the individual is willing to pay for unit number 38 of the good, we need to substitute the quantity (q) into the marginal benefit (MB) equation.

The equation given is MB = 190 - 3q.

Substitute q = 38 into the equation:

MB = 190 - 3(38)

Solve the equation:

MB = 190 - 114

MB = 76

Therefore, the highest price the individual is willing to pay for unit number 38 of the good is 76.
