A monopolist faces the demand function P = 100 - (q1 + q2) and produces identical outputs from two plants with cost function.
C1 = 2q12 C2 = q22.
- Write down the optimization problem this monopolist has to solve.
- Write down the first order condition(s).
- Find how much the monopolist need to produce in each plant to maximize its output.
- Write down the second order condition(s) and check if they are satisfied.
