Multichoice company broadcasts to subscribers in Lusaka and Solwezi. The demand for each ofthese two groups are Qsz= 50 - (1/3) Ps and QUSK= 80 - (2/3) Pusk, where Q is in thousands ofsubscriptions per year and P is the subscription price per year. The cost of providing Q units.ofservice is given by C (Q) = 1000 + 30Q, where Q = Qsz + QusK. Assuming Multichoice is aMonopoly and can engage in third-price discrimination, then1. What is the profit-maximizing price and quantity in Solwezi Market?2. What is the profit-maximizing price and quantity in Lusaka Market?3. Suppose the Monopoly can only charge a single. What price should it charge and what isthe total quantity sold?
A monopoly has the demand schedule p = 210 − 0.2q and the marginal cost schedule MC = 20 + 0.8q (a) If it can practise first-degree price discrimination how much should it sell? (b) If it can practise second-degree price discrimination and it has already made the decision to sell the first 100 units at a price of £190, what price should it charge for the rest of the units it sells?
