    Equilibrium levels of output

    A monopolist produces two different goods. The (inverse) demand for each good is given as: p_1 = theta - (alpha)q_1 + (beta)q_2 p_2 = theta + (alpha)q_1 - (beta)q_2 The monopolist produces both of these goods at a constant unit cost (c > 0) and maximizes the profit function below by setting the output of each good. (p
