2. Suppose a monopoly produces film and cameras. Consumers demand pictures, which require film and one camera. Two different types of consumers have the following demand for film, q= 100 - 10p and q = 80-10p. The monopoly cannot price discriminate in the market for film or the market for cameras, but it can bundle the products. The monopoly produces film at a constant marginal cost of $1 per roll. What price will the monopoly set for film and for cameras?

What are the four most important ways a firm becomes a monopoly? Will a monopoly that maximizes profit also be maximizing revenue? Will it be maximizing output? Explain. Assume the graph below represents the market for a monopolist. What quantity will the monopolist produce, and what price will she charge? What will her total revenue, costs, and profit be at this production level? What will the deadweight loss for society be at this level of production? (Assume the MC curve is a straight line between the relevant points for this calculation.)
What is the quantity that maximizes social surplus? Explain. How much worse off is society as a result of this industry being monopolized? Show this on a graph and calculate the amount. Info needed in image below
Use the following graph of a monopoly market to answer this question: P $13 $10 150 300 Which of the following statements is an accurate interpretation of the graph? This firm engages in perfect price discrimination; 150 of its customers are willing to pay exactly $13, and 150 are willing to pay exactly $10. This firm price-discriminates by selling its product for $13 to the 150 consumers willing to pay at least $13, and selling it for $10 to the 150 consumers willing to pay between $10 and $13. This firm engages in price discrimination by negotiating on price with each of its customers. This firm price-discriminates by selling its product for $13 to the 150 consumers willing to pay at least $13, and selling it for $10 to the 300 consumers willing to pay between $10 and $13. This firm engages in perfect price discrimination; 150 of its customers are willing to pay exactly $13, and 300 are willing to pay exactly $10.
v THE VIRTUAL MONOPOLY OF EPIPENS BY THE APLIA ECONOMICS CONTENT TEAM In 2007, as part of a $6.7 billion deal with Merck & Co., Inc., one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, Mylan N.V., an American generic and specialty pharmaceuticals company, acquired the EpiPen, an epinephrine injection device used to treat the potentially fatal allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis. At the time, EpiPen was not a household brand that everyone knew, but efforts by Mylan's CEO Heather Bresch changed the landscape for this device. According to Jen Wieczner, in an article in Fortune: "She poured marketing resources into the product, and embarked on an awareness and political campaign to get more EpiPens into schools and other public institutions. Today, 47 states have laws about making epinephrine auto-injectors available at school in case of an anaphylaxis incident, largely as a result of Bresch's efforts" (Jen Wieczner, "Mylan CEO Blamed Obama Care for EpiPen Sticker Shock,"…

3. The inverse market demand is P=100 – 2/3Q. The firms have cost functions TC1 = 15 + 3q1+ q1² TC2 = 20 + q2 + 2q2² Q = q1 +q2 a. Assume there is a multiplant monopoly and TC1 and TC2 represents the cost of production in each plant. How much quantity should each plant produce? b. Find the market price. c. Assume there is a multiplant monopoly. Would it make sense for the firm to close one of the plants? d. Does your answer change if TC2 = 20 + q2 + 2q2² changes to TC2 = 1000 + q2 + 2q² ? e. Explain your answer from the prior question- did your production change or remain the same?
