1. Suppose there are two potential customers in the market. One has demand function D1(p)=10-p . The other has demand function D2(p)=20-2p. The only firm in this market has constant marginal cost of 2. (2nd-degree price discrimination) Given the market as described in the above question, suppose the monopolist cannot identify the two consumers, but he can use a single two-part tariff. (a)Find out the optimal fixed fee and per-unit price. (b)Is it more profitable to serve both consumers or...

1. A monopolist with marginal cost of production of 40 sells to two distinct consumers. For consumer 1, demand is given by Q1 = 300 - P1. For consumer 2, it is given by Q2 = 180 - P2. a. Determine the optimal uniform price and output when discrimination is impossible. b. Assume third-degree discrimination between the two consumers is possible.
