Universal widget produces high-quality widgets. Its total cost function is given by ?? = 0.25? 2 . Widgets are demanded in Australia (where the demand curve is given by qA = 100 – 2PA) and in Lapland (where the demand is given by qL = 100 – 4PL). Total demand is equal to the combined demand from both locations. Suppose Universal widget can control the quantities supplied to each market.

(a) How many should it sell in each location to maximize its profit?

(b) What price will be charge in each location?
