A monopolist supplies an identical good in both countries. The inverse demand curve of Country A is P = 12 – Q and that of Country B is P = 22 – 2Q. Suppose the monopolist has plants in two countries and all plants have a constant marginal cost of $2. (a) Suppose the tariff is so high that there is no trade between the two countries, what price should the monopolist charge in each country? What is its total profit? (b) After the two countries sign a trade agreement, the tariff becomes zero. Now the good the monopolist supplies can be transported from one country to the other with a cost of one dollar per unit. How will the monopolist’s profit change if it does NOT change its pricing strategy? (c) How should the monopolist change its pricing strategy to maximize its profit?
option b
Suppose that a monopolist can segregate his buyers into two different groups to which he can charge two different prices. In order to maximize profit, the monopolist should charge a higher price to the group that has:*the higher elasticity of demand.the lower elasticity of demand.richer members.none of the above The socially optimal price (P = MC) is socially optimal because*it reduces the monopolist’s profit.it yields a normal profit.it minimizes ATC.it achieves allocative efficiency. The main problem with imposing the socially optimal price (P = MC) on a monopoly is that the socially optimal price:may be so low that the regulated monopoly can’t break even.may cause the regulated monopoly to engage in price discrimination.may be higher than the monopoly price.none of the above

A monopolist has a single customer with the demand curve P=20-Q. (So this customer will buy different quantities at different prices.) Suppose the monopolist’s marginal cost is MC=0. (And assume FC=0 to keep things simple.) a) The monopolist uses “standard” pricing, i.e., it sets a single price for all units that the customer buys. The graph below shows the demand curve and MC curve. Solve graphically for the price & quantity that will maximize profit for the monopolist. Shade the areas on your graph that represent consumer surplus and the monopolist’s profit. Having observed the success of the monopolist in part (a), you’re plotting to enter the market and tempt the single customer to switch to you. Assume the following: You also have FC=0 and MC=0. You and the monopolist produce identical products, so if you do attract away the single customer, they come to you with the same demand curve as above, i.e., P=20-Q IMPORTANT: The monopolist has committed to their price from part (a),…
The graph above shows the cost and revenue curves for a natural monopoly that provides electrical power to the town of Fanaland. If unregulated, the monopolist operates to maximize its profit. (a) Identify the monopolist’s profit-maximizing quantity and price. (b) Assume the town government of Fanaland regulates the monopolist’s price to achieve the allocatively efficient quantity. What price would the government set in order to achieve the allocatively efficient quantity? (c) Will producing the allocatively efficient quantity be economically feasible for the monopolist? Explain. (d) Suppose instead the town government wants to regulate the monopolist to earn zero economic profit. What price would the government set to have the monopolist earn zero economic profit? (e) Based on your answer to part (d), will the deadweight loss increase, decrease, or stay the same as that of the unregulated monopolist? Explain.
There is a monopolist,ConcreteMex,in the concretemarketin Mexico. The demand function is QD= 100–50p. The marginal cost of production isc=0.4. (referencing) Question 1.3 ConcreteMex claimed the high price is due to high transportation costs and persuaded the government to help cut down the costs. As a result, for every unit of concrete sold, the government subsidizes ConcreteMex 0.2dollars. What are the new profit-maximizing price and production levels for ConcreteMex? Under the subsidy policy and the new price in Question 1.3, calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss. You do not need to consider government spending for the deadweight loss.

All 20 consumers are alike and each has a demand curve for a monopolist's product of p=15 -3q. The cost of production C(Q) =2Q. Let the monopolist charge a price of $PM for qM unit purchased. Find the menu prices that maximize profits? (The buyer pays menu price PM for quantity qM) What is the maximum profit the monopolist can earn in this market? (pi)?
A movie monopolist sells to college students and other adults. The demand function for students is Q = 840 - 100P, and the demand function for other adults is Q = 1,600 - 100P. Costs is c(Q) = 12 +0.005Q2m per ticket, where Q=Qs+ QA- Instructions: Round your answers to 2 decimal places. a. What prices will the monopolist set when she can discriminate? Pstudent = $ per ticket. Padult = $ Profit = $ per ticket. b. What if demand for adults increases to Q = 1,800 - 100P? Pstudent = $ Padult = $ Profit = $ per ticket. per ticket. c. When adult demand increases, the adult price: decreases. does not change. increases. d. When adult demand increases, the student price: decreases. increases. does not change.
