Rugby AU has no fixed costs for organizing the game, but it must pay a marginalcost MC of $20 per seat to the owners of the Marvel Stadium. Two types of tickets will be sold or the game: concession and full fare. Based on any official document that attests to their age, children and pensioners qualify to purchase concession tickets that offer a discounted price; everyone else pays the full fare. The demand for full-fare tickets is QF(P) = 120 – 2P. The demand for concession tickets is QC(P) = 80 – 2P.

- 1. The President of Riceland is very fond of rice and hence has given the license to produce rice only to her own nephew, Mr. Brown. Even the international trade in rice is not allowed. Following is the demand that Mr. Brown faces for rice: D=10-P. He faces a total cost, given by C = 3+Q+0.5Q². People of Riceland were revolting against this obsession for rice for their President, which, one day, eventually resulted in opening up of trade in rice, at the competitive world price level of 3 $. However, the obsession of rice for the President forced her to limit the amount of rice traded in the market to one unit, and she gave the license to trade to Mr. Brown only. Discuss the pattern of trade in rice for Riceland under free trade and restricted trade situations.
