1. CLARA is a producer in a monopoly industry. Her demand curve, total revenue curve, marginalrevenue curve, total cost curve and marginal cost curve are given as follows:P = 40 – Q [or, Q = 40 – P],TR = 40Q – Q2, MR = 40 – 20, TC = 20 + Q2, MC = 20a) Find the profit-maximizing level of output for CLARA.b) Find level of profit.c) Can CLARA earn a positive long-run economic profit? Why? Why not?

P = 40 - Q [or, Q=40-P] TR = 40Q - Q² MR = 40 - 2Q , TC = 20 + Q² MC = 20

Based on market research, a film production company in Ectenia obtains the following information about the demand and production costs of its new DVD Demand :P =1000-10Q Total Revenue : TR=1000Q-10Q2 Marginal Revenue: MR=1000-20Q Marginal Cost: MC=100+10Q Where Q indicates the number of copies sold and P is the price in Ectenian dollasrs. a. Find the price and quantity that maximize the company's profit b. Find the price and quantity that would maximize social welfare c. Calculate the deadweight loss from monpoly. d. Suppose in addition to the costs above. the director of the film has to be paid. The company is considering four options i. a flat fee of 2000 Ectenian dollars ii. 50 percent of the profits. iii. 150 Ectenian dollars per unit sold iv. 50 percent of the revenue. For each option, calculate the profit-maximizing price and quantity. Which if any of these compensation schemes would alter the deadweight loss from monopoly. Explain.
How do you find the profit maximizing PRICE (not level of output) on a graph for a monopoly with demand, marginal revenue, marginal cost, and average total cost curves. Group of answer choices Find the minimum point on the ATC curve and go straight over to the price axis. Find the point where MR = MC and go straight over to the price axis. Find the point where MR = MC, go straight up until you hit the demand curve, and then go straight over to the price axis. Find the point where demand hits marginal cost and go straight over to the price axis.
Consider a market with a common demand function given by Q = 100 - 2P, where Q represents quantity and P represents price. The total cost function for firms in this market is TC=1000+ 50². a) For a monopoly, calculate the profit-maximizing price, quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss. b) Compare the monopoly equilibrium to the equilibrium in perfect competition. Calculate the price, quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss under perfect competition. c) Use a single graph to illustrate both the monopoly and perfect competition equilibriums. 4
Henry Potter owns the only well in town that produces clean drinking water. He faces the following demand, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves:Demand: P = 70 – QMarginal revenue: MR = 70 – 2QMarginal cost: MC = 10 + Qa) Graph these three curves. Assuming that Mr. Potter maximizes profit, what quantity does he produce? What price does he charge? Show these results on your graph.b) Mayor George Bailey, concerned about water consumers, is considering a price ceiling that is 10 percent below the monopoly price derived in part (a). What quantity would be demanded at this new price? Would the profit-maximizing Mr. Potter produce that amount? Explain. (Hint: Think about marginal cost.)c) George’s Uncle Billy says that a price ceiling is a bad idea because price ceilings cause shortages. Is he right in thiscase? What size shortage would the price ceiling create? Explain.d) George’s friend Clarence, who is even more concerned about consumers, suggests a price ceiling 50 percent below…
You are the manager of a monopoly. Your analytics department estimates that a typical consumer’s inverse demand function for your firm’s product is P = 200 − 20Q, and your cost function is C(Q) = 80Q.a. Determine the optimal two-part pricing strategy. Per-unit fee: $ Fixed fee: $ b. How much additional profit do you earn using a two-part pricing strategy compared with charging this consumer a per-unit price?
PRICE 1 2 10. Study Questions and Problems #10 The following graph represents a natural monopolist. Suppose that regulators have set the fair-return price at $3. Use the black point (cross symbol) to indicate the equilibrium under unregulated monopoly. Then use the grey point (star symbol) to indicate the equilibrium for the monopoly regulated by marginal cost pricing. Finally, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to indicate the equilibrium for the monopoly regulated by fair-return pricing. 5 • + MC Pricing Monopoly Pricing LRAC Fair-Return Pricing LRMC MR D 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 QUANTITY Use the graph to complete the following table.

Yongling is a monopoly seller of a good in a town. She has a fixed supply of 8 units and no other costs. The market demand curve for the product is P = 20-q. What is her profit if she sells to all her clients at the same price?
Suppose a monopoly's price elasticity of demand equals-5 and the marginal cost of production equals $500.00. The profit-maximizing price is $ 625 (Enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to two decimal places.) What will be the firm's markup? When maximizing profit, the monopoly's markup is______percent. (Round your response to the nearest percent.)
