Question

A profit-maximizing monopolist sells its goods to two different countries. In one
country it faces demand as p1
180 – 2q2. Its marginal cost is 2qi. If the monopoly were to charge different
prices in these markets, in which market it can charge a higher price, explain using
elasticity. Calculate CS, PS, and DWL. What would be the price if the firm were to
120 – q, and in other country it faces demand as
P2
charge one price for both markets.
