A monopolist sells a good to two demographically separate markets. The demand for its good in the first market is given by Q1 = 24 – P1, (2) while the demand in the second market is given by Q2 — 20 — Р2. (3) The monopolist has constant average and marginal costs of $2 per unit. Answer the following: (a) Find the price the monopolist would charge if it sells its good for the same price in both markets. How many units does the monopolist sell in each market? What are its profits? (b) If the monopolist can maintain separation between the two markets, what price would it charge in each market? How many units does it sell in each market? What are its profits?

True or false (A). A profit‐maximizing monopolist will produce output where marginal cost is equal to price (B). Suppose we know that a monopolist is maximizing profits. The monopolist has maximized the difference between marginal revenue and marginal cost. (C) In perfect competition, MUX = PX is the condition that ensures that firms produce the right things.
If TC=40+6QTC=40+6Q and EP=−3EP=−3 what is the optimal price to be charged?
Please answer part a,b,c
According to the textbook, which of the following statements is (are) correct? (x) As new firms enter a monopolistically competitive market, product diversity in the market increases, however, profits of existing firms decrease since demand for the products of those firms decreases as they lose customers to the new entering firms. (y) The product-variety externality associated with monopolistic competition arises because in markets that are monopolistically competitive markets, firms try to differentiate their products. (z) When the loss from a business-stealing externality exceeds the gain from a product-variety externality, there are likely to be too many firms in a monopolistically competitive market.
