Nicolas Cage, Lord of War, sells guns to two countries that are at war with each other. The guns can be provided at a constant marginal cost of $10. Assume there is no fixed cost. The demand for guns from the two countries can be represented as: QA = 100 - 2p QB = 80 - 4p
a) Why is the weapons producer able to price discriminate? Be specific. (1 point)
b) What price will it charge to each country? (4 points)

A firm is selling its product in two markets. In market A the
demand is given by QA = 100 − 2P and in market B the demand is QB =
80 − 4P. The firm’s total cost is C = 10Q where Q = QA + QB is the
total output. a) Suppose the monopolist cannot discriminate between

A monopolistic pharmaceutical company sells a pill in two
countries, and resales between the countries are impossible. The
demand curves in the two countries are: P1 = 100− Q1 and P2 =
120−2Q2. The monopolist’s marginal cost is $30. Solve for the
equilibrium price in each country. What is the equilibrium price
and quantity if the monopolist decides to treat the two markets as
one big market and charge a unique price? Compare the profits in
these two situations.

A monopoly sells in two countries, and resales between the
countries are impossible. The demand curves in the two countries
are
p 1 equals 100 minus Upper Q 1p1=100−Q1,
and

Suppose that two firms A and B sell water in a market. The
market demand function can be expressed as P = 120 – Q, where Q =
qA+qB. For each producer, the marginal cost =average total cost of
producing each unit = $30. If the firms behave as Cournot
competitors, in the Nash equilibrium, the industry price of water
will be
a. $60
b. $20
c. $30
