- Draw the graph. If the monopoly is a price-discriminating monopoly charging some customers P1= $950 and other customers P2=$400, then: At the price P1= $950, the monopoly will sell a quantity Q1 = ______ At the price P2= $400, the monopoly will sell a quantity Q2 = ______. (Obs: calculation required here!) Total quantity sold at both prices is Q3 = Q1 + Q2 = ___________.
