An amusement park has identified its demand functions as follows: Q = 50-3P The marginal operating cost of each unit of quantity is $5 and there are no fixed costs. The park is a monopolist and exercises significant price making power in the market. 1. If the monopolist charges same price for every unit, for what price are his profits maximized? How many units will be sold at that price? What are his total profits?

Suppose you are a monopolist and you have two customers, A and B. Each will buy either zero or one unit of the good you produce. A is willing to pay up to $35 for your product; B is willing to pay up to $10. You produce this good at a constant average and marginal cost of $8.
