Road Runner Co is a Pakistani manufacturer making Bicycles. It exports to two markets,Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. 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) b. consider two cases: (i) Company is effectively able to price discriminate in thetwo markets. What will be the total profits? (ii) Suppose the company does not engage in price discrimination.
