Hubert owns a plot of land in the desert that isn't worth much. One day, a giant meteorite falls on his property, making a large crater. The event attracts scientists and tourists, and Hubert decides to sell nontransferable admission tickets to the meteor crater to both types of visitors: scientists (Market A) and tourists (Market B). The following graphs show daily demand (D) curves and marginal revenue (MR) curves for the two markets. Hubert’s marginal cost of providing admission tickets is zero

Suppose that at first, Hubert charges the same price of $8 per admission in both markets so that the total number of admissions demanded is_______tickets.

Suppose now that Hubert decides to charge a different price in each market. To maximize revenue, Hubert should charge_________per admission in Market A and________per admission in Market B. At these prices, he will sell a total quantity of __________admission tickets per day.

Complete the following table by calculating Hubert's total revenue from selling in both markets under the nondiscriminatory as well as the discriminatory price policy.
