(b) What is the maximum-profit price? (c) What is the total revenue at this price and output? (d) What is the total cost at this price and output? (e) What is the level of profit at this price and output? (f) If the monopolist were ordered to produce 300 units, what would be the market price? (g) How much profit would now be made? (h) If the monopolist were faced with the same demand, but average costs were constant $60 per unit, what output would maximise profit? (i) What would be the price now? (j) How much profit would now be made? (k) Assume now that the monopolist decides not to maximise profits, but instead sets a price of $40. How much will now be sold?.
9. Draw a linear demand curve, linear MC and MR for a monopolist. (a) Show graphically the optimal price and quantity produced. (b) How will your answer in (a) change if the demand becomes more inelastic? Will the gap between MC and p increase or decrease? (c) Show the CS, PS, and, DW L.

Problem 11-04 (algo) ou are the manager of a monopoly that sells a product to two groups of consumers in different parts of the country. Analysts at your irm have determined that group 1's elasticity of demand is -5, while group 2's is -2. Your marginal cost of producing the product is 630 a. Determine your optimal markups and prices under third-degree price discrimination. Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places. Markup for group 1: Price for group 1: $ Markup for group 2: Price for group 2 $ b. Which of the following are necessary conditions for third-degree price discrimination to enhance profits. Instructions: In order to receive full credit, you must make a selection for each option. For correct answer(s), click the box once to place a check mark. For incorrect answer(s), click twice to empty the box. ?At least one group has elasticity of demand greater than 1 in absolute value. ?At least one group has elasticity of demand less than one in absolute value.…

29. Imagine that you are managing a small firm and thinking about entering the market of a monopolist. The monopolist is currently charging a high price, and you have calculated that you can make a nice profit charging 10% less than the monopolist. Before you go ahead and challenge the monopolist, what possibility should you consider for how the monopolist might react?
2. Monopoly, Practice Question Firm P is a monopolist for a new drug that makes people feel thinner. the total cost function is C(Q) = 200 + 10Q + Q² The inverse demand function is p(Q) = 82 - Q (a) By how much do revenues increase if this firm sells one more (small) unit of output? By how much does its cost go up if it produces one more (small) unit of output? (b) What is the optimal price and quantity the monopolist should charge and sell? (c) What is the profit the monopolist makes? Should the firm shut down in the short or long run? (d) If the company increases its price by a small fraction (let us say 1%), by what proportion does demand go down? [Round to two decimal places.] (e) What percentage of the price is due to costs and what is due to markup? [Round to two decimal places.] (f) What is the deadweight loss of the monopoly pricing compared to competitive prices?
