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.

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?
