Demand for Bicycles in thesetwo markets is given by the following Functions: Bangladesh Q1 = 12 – P1 Sri Lanka Q2 = 8 – P2 Where Q1 and Q2 are respective quantities sold (in thousands) andP1 and P2 are the respective prices (in Pak. Rupees per unit) in the two markets. Total cost function is C = 5 + 2 (Q1+ Q2) (i) Company is effectively able to price discriminate in the two markets. What will be the total profits? (ii) Suppose the company does not engage in price discrimination. By charging the same price in the two markets what are the profit maximizing levels of price, output, and the total profits?
