4) A monopolist faces a market inverse demand function: P = 250 – 5Q and marginal cost function: ATC = MC = 10. Answer the following. If the monopolist employs a single price strategy, what is the optimal quantity produced and price charged. What is the market up and contribution margin from the strategy in part a if Ed = -1.0833. If other firms trying to enter this market had slightly higher cost structures, what would be a good price & quantity mix to limit entry of competition and why (no math needed). If the monopolist could create a bundled good instead of the strategy in part a, what price would it charge and how many units would be sold in the bundle. What are the profits from part a & part d? Which pricing strategy is preferred. EC: Briefly explain why a firm that offers a buy 2 get the 3rd free deal, does not just offer that same product at a 33.33% discount of the normal stated price. Need help with number 2.
6. A monopolist firm has two long-run choices: producing with short-run cost function C(q) = 30 + 5q, or exiting the market. If the inverse demand function of the market is p(g) = 15 – q, will the monopolist shut down in the short run? Will it exit the market in the long run? A. Shut down in the short run; exit in the long run B. Shut down in the short run; not exit in the long run C. Not shut down in the short run; exit in the long run D. Not shut down in the short run; not exit in the long run

1. Consider a monopolist where the market demand curve for the produce is given by P = 520 2Q. This monopolist has marginal costs that can be expressed as MC = 100 + 2Q and total costs that can be expressed as TC = 100Q + Q2 + 50.a. Given the above information, what is this monopolists profit maximizing price and output if it charges a single price?b. Given the above information, calculate this single price monopolists profit.c. At the profit maximizing quantity, what is this monopolists average total cost of production (ATC)?

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
Please no written by hand solutions 1. Assume the cost function for a monopolist is given by TC(q) = 30Q; the inverse demand function for the firms' output is p = 120 - Q, where Q is the total output. a. Find the profit-maximizing combination of price and quantity b. Estimate consumer surplus, producer surplus and the deadweight loss associated with this monopolist C. If this industry became perfectly competitive, explain and estimate the consumer surplus, producer surplus and deadweight loss of the industry d. Graph your answers for a, b, and c 2.

1 Suppose that a monopolist has a patent for widgets and the market demand curve Q(P) is:Q(P) = 60 – 2P,where P is the price in dollars and Q is quantity. a. Solve for the inverse demand P(Q) curve by solving the demand curve for P in terms of Q. b. Using your answer from (a), express the monopolist’s total revenue in terms of Q as TR(Q) = QP(Q). c. Calculate the monopolist’s marginal revenue MR(Q) by differentiating the total revenue you found in theprevious step: MR(Q) = dTR(Q) / dQ. PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK
