A monopolist produces the same product at two factories. The cost functions for each factory are as follows: TC1 = 8Q1 and TC2 = Q2^2. The demand function for the good is P = 100 - 2Q, where Q = Q1 + Q2. Find the values of Q1 and Q2 that maximize profit.

A monopolist has two segmented markets with demand curves given by p1 = 160 - Q1 and p2 = 130 - 1/2Q2, where p1, p2 are the prices charged in each market segment, and Q1, Q2 are the quantities sold. Its cost function is given by c(Q) = 2Q^2, where Q = Q1 + Q2. Find the monopolist's profit maximizing prices p*1, p*2 and outputs Q*1, Q*2 sold in each market.

See Graph 1 above, which illustrates a monopoly. The profit-maximizing price and quantity chosen by the monopolist are Q1 units of output and a price of P5 Q3 units of output and a price of P3 Q1 units of output and a price of P1 Q4 units of output and a price of P4 Q1 units of output and a price of P2 See Graph 1 above. The total profit earned by the monopolist is shown by rectangle 0 P1 A Q1 P1 A B P2 P1 A C P5 P3 F Q2 0
