Consider a price discriminating monopolist facing two markets for its good. The demand  equations faced by the monopolist and its cost function are: Market 1: Q1 = 55 – P1 Market 2: Q2 = 70 – 2P2 Cost Function: TC(Q) = 100 + 5Q, where Q = Q1 + Q2 If the monopolist cannot maintain the separation between the two markets, calculate the optimal output level and determine the price will this be sold
