In which market must…Q-3: A monopolist sells in 2 markets and produces in 1 factory. Although the monopolist can charge difference prices in the two markets, it must sell all units within a market at the same price.a) Suppose this monopolist does not have a marginal cost (M C = 0). If demand in market 1 is X1(p1) = a1 −b1p1 and demand in market 2 is X2(p2) = a2 −b2p2, set up the monopolist’s profit maximization problems and solve for the market prices that result in each market.b) Under what conditions on a1, b1, a2, b2 from above will the monopolist not price discriminate?c) If demand in market i, where i = 1 , 2, is instead Xi(pi) = aipi−bi and the monopolist has some constant marginal cost of c, where c > 0, set up the monopolist’s profit maximization problem and solve for the market prices.d) Under what conditions on a1, b1, a2, b2 from above will the monopolist not price discriminate?Only answer BOLD and ITALIC part of the question. A monopolist has discovered that the inverse demand function of a person with income Y for the monopolist’s product is P = 0.002Y-Q where P is the price, Y the income, and Q is the output. The monopolist can observe the incomes of its consumers and hence vary its price accordingly. The monopolist has a total cost function C(Q) = 100Q. A monopolist has a constant marginal cost of £2 per unit and no fixed costs. He faces two separate markets in the United States and in the UK. The goods sold in one market are never resold in the other. He sets one price P1 for the US market and another price P2 for the UK market (both measured in £). The demand in the United States is given by Q1=7,000-700P1 and the demand in the UK is given by Q2=1,200-200P2. - Calculate the profit maximising output produced and price charged in each country by the price-discriminating monopolist and comment in which country the price charged is higher and by how much.…
