8. Imagine that Tesla (the car company) starts selling its new model, the Cybertruck, in Cali- fornia and Florida. Assume that the Cybertruck is differentiated enough from other vehicles that we can approximate Tesla as a monopolist in this market. Let g. and gy be the quan- tities of Cybertrucks sold in California and Florida, respectively. The inverse demand for Cybertrucks in each location is p.(gc) = 24 g and ps(gr) = 32 2¢y. All Cybertrucks are produced in the same factory, with decreasing returns to scale. The total cost function for Tesla is C(gc,qf) = (g + qf)?. Assuming Tesla maximizes profits, how do the prices in California and Florida compare?
