    To compute the inverse demand equation, simply solve for P from the demand equation. [12] For example, if the demand equation is Q = 240 - 2P then the inverse demand equation would be P = 120 - .5Q, the right side of which is the inverse demand function. [13] The inverse demand function is useful in deriving the total and marginal revenue ...
