A firm with market power sells its product in two markets. The firm faces the same cost curves in both markets but faces a relatively elastic demand in one market for its product and a relatively inelastic demand in the other market for that same product. Which of the following will increase the firm’s profits?

The figure shows a graph with the horizontal axis labeled Quantity of Nursing Services and the vertical axis labeled Wage. There are 4 points on the horizontal axis labeled, from left to right, Q 1, Q 2, Q 3, and Q 4. There are 3 points on the vertical axis labeled, from bottom to top, W 1, W 2, and W 3. There are 3 solid straight lines on the graph. One solid straight line labeled M R P begins on the vertical axis above W 3 and moves down and to the right, ending above the horizontal axis beyond Q 4. The second solid straight line is labeled M F C and begins on the vertical axis below W 1 and moves up and to the right, crosses M R P, and ends above the horizontal axis between Q 3 and Q 4. Line M F C intersects line M R P at a point with coordinates Q 3 and W 3. The third solid straight line labeled S begins at the same point as M F C on the vertical axis and moves less steeply up and to the right, staying below M F C, crosses M R P, and ends above the horizontal axis beyond Q 4. Line S intersects line M R P at a point with coordinates Q 4 and W 2. There are 3 other unlabeled points on the graph. The first point lies on line M F C with coordinates Q 1 and W 1. The second point lies on line M F C with coordinates Q 2 and W 2. The third point lies on line S with coordinates Q 3 and W 1. Hope Hospital is a monopsonistic employer of nurses. The marginal revenue product of nursing services, the marginal factor (resource) cost of nursing services, and the market supply curve of nursing services are depicted in the figure above by MRP, MFC, and S, respectively. What wage quantity combination does Hope Hospital choose in order to maximize its profits?
