A monopolist has two segmented markets with demandcurves given by
P1 = 160- Q1 and P2 = 130 - 0.5Q2
where p1 and p2 are the prices charged in each marketsegment, and Q1 and Q2 are the quantities sold. Its cost functionis given by c(Q) = 2Q2, where Q = Q1 + Q2.

b. Find the monopolist's profit-maximizing price andquantity for each segment.
c. What is the relative price markup for eachsegment?
d. Find the profit for the monopoly.
