Transcribed Image Text:Question 1.
Suppose that a monopoly firm supplies to two different markets with the demand
functions:
Market 1: q, = 100 – 2p1 +P2
(1.1)
Market 2: q2 = 150 + p1 – 3p2
(1.2)
(a) Derive the inverse demand functions for both markets, and explain the
relationship between the demand for the two goods.
Assume that the firm's cost function is (q1 + 92)².
(b) Derive the profit-maximizing outputs, prices and the maximum profit. Show that it
is true maximum.
(c) Suppose there is a restriction of q2 < 20 in the market for good 2. What is the
impact on the firm's output in both the markets, as well as on the maximum
profit?
Now suppose the firm has a resource constraint such that it can produce a maximum of
40 units of both goods in total, i.e., q, + q2 5 40.
(d) What is the impact on the firm's output in both markets, as well as on the
maximum profit? Compare this result with those in parts (b) and (c) above.
