You are the owner of a monopoly firm. The demand curve that you face is: 100 0. 5Q - Your Total Cost and Marginal Cost are: 1035 +10Q +0. 5Q2 10 +Q TC |3| MC The government decides to regulate your firm and imposes the Efficient Price. What is the price you must set? Regulated Efficient price $77.5 Regulated Efficient price = $55 Regulated Efficient price = $60 Regulated Efficient Price = $70
35. Consider a publicly owned nondiscriminating monopoly whose marginal cost is 10, whose average cost is 10 +90/Q, and whose demand curve is P = 100 –-Q, where P is price and Q is quantity. The government instructs the firm to produce a quantity such that MC = P. Which of the following statements is true? %3D (a) The firm makes a profit of 90 (b) The firm breaks even (c) The firm requires a subsidy of 90 (d) The firm makes a profit of 100 (e) The firm requires a subsidy of 100
Please refer to the figure above. When MC is constant, the ATC is also constant. How much profit the monopolist will make?
Consider a monopoly market in which the initial price is $40K, the initial quantity is 20, and the elasticity of demand is -2.5. A government program directly supplies an additional 4 units at the market price. For example, this is surplus equipment being auctioned to the highest bidder. a) Estimate MC. Thereafter assume it is constant. b) Use the initial equilibrium and the elasticity of demand to approximate the initial demand curve. c) Approximate the monopolist’s demand after the program provides 4 units. d) Estimate the new price, the new quantity provided by the monopolist, and the new quantity consumed by customers. e) Sketch the situation. f) Estimate the impact on CS, PS, GS, and SS assuming the METB is 0.25.
If the inverse demand curve a monopoly faces is p = 100 - 2Q, MC is constant at 16, and the government imposes an $8 per unit specific tax on the monopoly, the deadweight loss due to both the monopoly and the tax is A) $441. B) $1764. C) $1332. D) $529.
