A profit maximizing monopolist has a cost function C (q) = 2g, where q > 0 denotes the amount produced, and faces the aggregate demand curve q = 100/p² where p > 0 denotes the price per unit in the market. Assume that the monopolist chooses an optimal price in the range [1, 6]. The optimal price the monopolist would set up is while the Lerner index is Blank # 1 Blank # 2
