### Monopolist Analysis and Demand Schedule#### Graph ExplanationThe graph presented is a typical representation of a monopolist’s market structure. It includes several curves and points:- **Price (P) vs. Quantity (Q) Graph**: - **MC (Marginal Cost)**: The upward sloping line representing the additional cost of producing one more unit. - **ATC (Average Total Cost)**: The curve that shows the average cost per unit of output. - **D (Demand Curve)**: The downward sloping line showing the monopolist's market demand. - **MR (Marginal Revenue)**: The downward sloping line beneath the demand curve, indicating the revenue gained from selling an additional unit. - **Points**: O, T, W, and Z are marked along the horizontal axis, and points P, L, K, J, C, B, and A are marked along the price axis.#### Questions1. **Profit Maximizing Output and Price**: - **a)** If the monopolist maximizes profit, it will produce the quantity at point W where MR (Marginal Revenue) equals MC (Marginal Cost). - **b)** The monopolist will charge a price at point K on the demand curve directly above point W. - **c)** The monopolist’s profit is represented by the area between the price (P) and the ATC (Average Total Cost) curve, from the origin to the quantity produced (area LKJW). - **d)** Social efficiency occurs where the demand curve (D) intersects the MC curve.2. **Demand Schedule Analysis**A monopolist is facing the following demand schedule:| Quantity | Price | Total Revenue | Average Revenue | Marginal Revenue ||----------|-------|---------------|-----------------|------------------|| 1 | $35 | | | || 2 | $32 | | | || 3 | $29 | | | || 4 | $26 | | | || 5 | $23 | | | || 6 | $20 | | | || 7 | $17 | | | || 8 | $14 | | | || 9

In the figure below, the competitive price will be, lower than the monopolistic price, and the monopolist causes a loss in social welfare. 100 80 MC 60 40 20 MR Price and coste (cents per bottle]
For the Monopolist, Demand is given by, P = 120 - 5Q Total Cost = 480 +20Q – Qty? For the Monopolist, Demand is given by, P = 120 - 5Q Total Cost = 480 +20Q – price? For the Monopolist, Demand is given by, P = 120 - 5Q Total Cost = 480 +20Q – profit? Q=15, Price=45, Profit=25 Q=10, Price=70, Profit=40 Q=5, Price=95, Profit=40 Q=20, Price=20, Profit=30
The following table refers to information about a monopolist. The demand and total cost schedules for the monopolist are presented. Quantity 1 2 34 5 6 7 ܒܢ Calculate the marginal revenue from selling the 4th unit of output. Express your answer without units (e.g., if your answer is "$400", write "400" in the answer box).

6. The following graph shows the demand, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves for a single-price monopolist that produces a drug that helps relieve arthritis pain.
2. A monopolist faces demand p = 10 - Q and has costs TC = 10 + 2q. a. Provide expressions for marginal revenue and marginal cost. b. Maximize the firm's profit to determine the equilibrium price, quantity, and profit. c. The monopolist faces the prospect of entry by competitor with the same cost function. If the firm enters, they will compete by choosing quantities. Does the monopolist need to worry about this entry threat? Explain. d. The government is considering a subsidy of 4 for all firms in this industry. Should the monopolist support or oppose this policy? Explain.
Q)Economics A market comprises two consumers groups: high-demand types and low-demand types. The high types have demand QH = 10 – P and low types have demand QL = 8 – P. If a monopolist has marginal cost MC = 1 + Q, what is the profit maximising price the monopolist would charge if they are not able to price discriminate? a. 5 b. 6 c. 4 d. 7

Suppose a monopolist sells a product to faculty members and students on the campus. If the firm sets a single price, the monopolist produces 5000 units and sell them at the price of $3 per unit. At this price, the price elasticity of demand for faculty member is -2.5. And the price elasticity of demand for students is -1.5. The monopolist is considering whether she should set different prices for the faculty members and students and asks for your advice. The monopolist is thinking about charging faculty members a 10% higher price. The quantity demanded by the faculty members would fall by %. The monopolist is thinking about charging students a 10% higher price. The quantity demanded by the students would fall by %. Who should the monopolist charge more? mention faculty and students and how much
2. A monopolist produces its output in two factories, whose cost curves are given by C1 (q1) = 10q and C2 (q2) demand for the firm's product is given by P = 700 – 5Q where Q is the total quantity sold by the monopolist. (a) On a diagram, illustrate the monopolist's decision about how much to produce at each factory and overall and the price to charge. Briefly explain your diagram. (b) Numerically calculate the monopolist's optimal choices for qı, q2, Q, and P. (c) Suppose that labor costs increase in Factory 1 but not in Factory 2. How should the firm change (i.e. raise, lower, or leave unchanged) each of the values you found in (b)? Your answer should be qualitative, not quantitative. 10q3 where q1 and q2 are the amounts produced at each factory. The diagram might be useful but is not necessary.
MC ATC P2 P3 P4 MR Q, Q2 Quantity In the figure above, if the monopolist maximizes profit, how many units of output will be sold and at what price? Quantity = Q2, Price = P1 Quantity = Q1, Price = P3 Quantity = Q1, Price = P4 Quantity = Q2, Price = P2 Quantity = Q1, Price = P1 Price
