Pete sells two different soups (chicken soup and beef soup) in two competitive markets. Suppose the firm's cost function is given by C = ½ q1^2 + ¼ q2^2 - 1/6 (q1)(q2) where q1 is the output of chicken soup and q2 is the output of beef soup. The price of beef soup is $3. a. Find the firm's supply curve for chicken soup. b. Find how the firm's supply of beef soup varies with the price of chicken soup Show work and explain
Problem 3. British airways has regular flights between Arizonia and Oregon. It can treat travers A and B as separate markets. Suppose that it notes a demand function of Q=16-P for A travelers and a demand function Q=10-P for B travelers and that it has a cost function for all travelers of C(Q)=10+Q2. How much should it charge in each market to maximize its profit? Verify that your answer represents a profit-maximizing point rather than a profit-minimizing point for the airline.

A small town has two bakeries, Acme and Fat Apple. Acme's marginal cost to make a loaf of bread is $1 and Fat Apple's marginal cost is $2. Acme's demand function is given as Q₁ = 14 - P₁ -0.5P2 and Fat Apple's demand function is Q₂ = 19 -0.5P₁ - P₂ where P₁ (P₂) is Acme (Fat Apple)'s price in dollars per loaf of break and Q1 (Q2) is measured in thousand loaves of Amce (Fat Apple)'s bread (respectively).
