Bob, Sue, and Katie go out every week and spend whatever money they have left from the week on a dinner at Burger Bart's, the only restaurant in town. The amount of cash they have at the end of the week is the most they will pay, but if there's anything left over after dinner, then they will also play video games. Bob always has $7, Sue always has $8, Katie always has $15, and Burger Bart knows this. His marginal cost of providing a meal is constant at $5 no matter how many meals he makes.
