1. A Chinese steel producer has identified two markets. The first has a demand of q = 56 - p, the second of q = 24 - p. The cost function is C = 10+q². a) What is the profit maximizing price and output for the monopolist? You can assume that market segmentation is feasible. b)* Suppose now the monopolist's cost increases to C = 10 + 2q². How is your answer in a) affected? Discuss what happened 1.
