Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion A monopolist has a demand curve given by P = 88 − Q and a total cost curve given by TC = 34 + Q2. The associated marginal cost curve is MC = 2Q. Suppose the monopolist also has access to a foreign market in which he can sell whatever quantity he chooses at a constant price of 60. How much will he sell in the foreign market? What will his new quantity and price be in the original market?
1. A monopolist's marginal cost function is given by: MC = 4q+ 20 where q is the quantity of good the monopolist produces. Fixed costs are 20, and the demand equation for the good produced is p+4q = 40, where p and q are price and quantity, respectively. - Find expressions for total revenue and for profit, as functions of q. Determine the value of q which maximises the profit. 2. Suppose the numbers x, y and z satisfy the following equations, where a is some number: x+y+z= 5-a 2x+y = 7-a x-y-2z = 0. Use a matrix method to determine the values of x, y and z, in terms of a. For what values of a will x, y and z all be positive? 3. Suppose that a is a positive number and that the function f is given by: f(x, y) = y¹ - 8a²y² +1
Suppose that the monopolist's demand is: P = 8 – Q, and marginal revenue is: MR = 8 – 2Q. - The marginal cost is: MC = 2, and there is no fixed cost. a.Find out the profit maximizing output level. b.Specify the amount of economic profit or loss at the profit maximizing output. c.Calculate the price elasticity of demand at the profit maximizing point and explain it.
A monopolist has a cost function given by c(y) = y2 and faces a demand curve given by P(y) = 120 − y. a. What is his profit-maximizing level of output? What price will the monopolist charge? b. Suppose you put a lump sum tax of $100 on this monopolist. What would its output be? c. If you wanted to choose a price ceiling for this monopolist so as to maximize consumer plus producer surplus, what price ceiling should you choose? How much output will the monopolist produce at this price ceiling?
Fruity Apples is the monopolist in the market for apples. The following equations describe the demand, the marginal cost, and the total cost, where Q is in pounds and P is price per pound. Demand: P = 93 - Q Marginal cost: MC = 3 + 2Q Total cost: TC = 3Q+Q². What would the equilibrium price and quantity be if this market was perfectly competitive? P = $61 and Q = 32 pounds P = $30 and Q = 63 pounds P = $63 and Q = 30 pounds P = $32 and Q = 61 pounds

If instead Sara had to operate like a competitive firm, what would be the equilibrium price and quantity? c. What is the deadweight loss and total loss to consumer surplus when Sara operates as a monopoly? d. How much surplus would Sara have if she could act as a perfectly price-discriminating monopolist?
Solve last 3 questions please Thank you
The demand equation for a monopolist is given by P = 50 - 2Q and the marginal cost is $10. i Compute the deadweight loss associated with monopoly pricing. ii. If P = 50 - 4Q, what is the deadweight loss? iii. Based on your answers to (a) and (b), how is the deadweight loss related to the slope of the demand curve?
The inverse demand function in the industry is p(y)=10-2y. The marginal costs are constant and equal 2, the fixed costs are zero. a. If the industry is perfectly competitive, what are the equilibrium output and price? b. If there is a single monopolist in the industry, what are the equilibrium output and price? What is the profit? c. Suppose now that the monopolist can perfectly discriminate all customers and charge different prices. How many units will be sold and what will be the profit? d. Find the deadweight loss due to monopolies in parts b. and c.?
