Problem 3. British airways has regular flights between Arizonia and Oregon. It can treat travers A and B as separate markets. Suppose that it notes a demand function of Q=16-P for A travelers and a demand function Q=10-P for B travelers and that it has a cost function for all travelers of C(Q)=10+Q2. How much should it charge in each market to maximize its profit? Verify that your answer represents a profit-maximizing point rather than a profit-minimizing point for the airline.
