Suppose that a unique technology is developed that allowed for the production of lightsabers. The inspired entrepreneur (let's say, Lucas George) who developed the technology immediately slaps a patent on the design and hoards kyber crystals (necessary input). Demand and production costs are given below: P(Q) = 14,000 - 600Q C(Q) = 3,000 + 100² 1. How much profit does Lucas the monopolist earn? 2. Solve for the market failure of Lucas operating as a monopolist relative to what would be observed if Lucas operated as a competitive firm. Martin the Martian (not to be confused with any other martian that might be copyrighted...) observes the profits being made by Lucas. Determining that ray guns are not that different from lightsabers, Martin begins competing with Lucas: P'(Q) = 12,000 - 600Q' 3.

A monopolist facing a demand p=1000 - 10Q has costs TC(Q) = 5Q^2 + 100Q. (a) What is the monopolist’s profit maximizing quantity and price? What is the induced DWL? (b) Suppose, on top of the costs above, the firm now also pays; (i) A flat fee of 1000 dollars, (ii) half of the profits, (iii) 150 dollars per unit sold, (iv) half of the revenue. Separately for each of these 4 cases, calculate the profit maximizing price and quantity for the monopolist with these new augmented costs. Does any of these scenarios alter the DWL associated with the monopoly, compared to (a)? (c) Forget about (a) and (b), and consider a monopoly in general. Show on a single graph with general costs (ATC and MC graphs) and a general demand, what quantity monopoly should produce in order to maximize ; (i) Total Revenue, or (ii) the number of units sold, under the condition that the firm does not make losses
Assume a single-price monopolist has an inverse market demand curve given by P(Q)=300-0.5Q, and has a cost curve: C(Q)=125+20Q+0.5Q2. We already know that Monopolist will provide 140 units, Economic profit is 19475, and Economic Rent is 190. If the impact of a 35% ad valorem tax imposed on the consumers in the market. Then: Q1: What is the equilibrium quantity will be sold in the after-tax equilibrium? Q2: What are the economic rents of the monopolist?
A monopolist has a constant marginal cost of production. Its total revenue function is given by the following table. Quantity Total Revenue ($) (units) 1 68 2 108 3 142 170 5 192 6. 208 7 218 If the monopolist finally chooses to produce 4 units, the marginal cost must be strictly greater than $[ Answer ]. (In integers, please.) 4-
Question 1 ( A monopolist sells Soma at the same price into two different markets. The inverse demand for Soma in market #1 is denoted p1(g) = 15 – q. The demand for Soma in market #2 is given by D2(p) = 80 – 3p. Assume the monopolist's cost function is C(q) = log(1 + q), where q represents the total quantity produced. (Note: (1) log denotes natural logarithm; (2) Round all answers to 2 decimal places.) 1. What is the profit maximizing quantity for the monopolist? 1 Answer:. Justification:
A monopolist firm sells good Q and demand is Q = 26 - P, where P is price. The firm's total cost is TC = 16 +5Q. If the firm decides to produce and sell Q = 11 units, then its resulting profit is $76 $82 $88 $94
Please refer to the figure above. The monopolist will produce A=37,5 units of output and determine their price at $C=15. Is this statement true or false?
A monopolist faces a demand curve, Q=100-2P and has a constant marginal cost of 10. It has no fixed costs. ✓ and produce Q*= If the monopolist can only charge a single price, it should charge P*= ✓ units. If the monopolist can charge a separate price for any units sold beyond Q*, then the price of these additional units will lead to additional profit if it is any price in the range of ✓. A monopolist that charges a separate price for additional units is practicing ✓price discrimination. The profit-maximizing price for the additional units is additional profit is for an arbitrary quantity of additional units, then maximize this function. ✓. Hint: Draw a picture. Think about what the
