Bangladesh                 Q1 = 12 – P1

Sri Lanka                     Q2 =   8 – P2

 

Where Q1 and Q2 are respective quantities sold (in thousands) andP1 and P2 are the respective prices (in Pak. Rupees per unit) in the two markets. Total cost function is

 

C = 5 + 2 (Q1+ Q2)

Now consider two cases
