Question: A market consists of two population segments, A and B. An individual in segment A has demand for your product q = 50 - p. An individual in segment B has demand for your product q = 120 - 2p. Segment A has 1000 people in it. Segment B has 1200 people in it. Total cost of producing q units is C = 5000 + 20q.
