    D

    Explanation:

    Profit is Maximize when MR = MC

    since MR=40 - 0.5Q

    and MC = 4

    Therefore:

    40-0.5Q = 4

    -0.5Q = 4 - 40

    -0.5Q = - 36

    divide through by - 0.5

    Q = 72

    since Q = 72

    from Q = 160 - 4p

    72 = 160 - 4P

    -4p = 72 - 160

    -4P = - 88

    divide through by - 4

    P = 22
