- Suppose the inverse demand for a monopolist's product is given by P(Q) = 70 – .50 The monopolist can produce output in two plants. The marginal cost of producing in plant 1 is MC, = 3Q, and the marginal cost of producing in plant 2 is MC, = Q2. How much out- put should be produced in each plant to maximize profits, and what price should be charged for the product?Remember, quantities need not be integers. A monopolist faces market demand MWTP(Q) = 56 - Q. The marginal cost of production $17. Assume the monopolist has a capacity constraint of 17 units. That means it cannot produce more than 17 units even if it wants to. If it engages in perfect first-degree price discrimination, what is the monopolists total producer surplus? Enter a number only, no $ sign.A monopolist faces inverse demand P = 150 – 3Q and total cost function TC(Q) = cQ. Find the optimal price, PM, and quantity, QM.
- Assume you were provided the following information for a monopolist: Inverse Demand Function: P = 100 - 2Q Total Cost Function: TC = 10 + 2Q The monopolist has a constant marginal cost of $2. What is the profit maximizing level of output?Suppose a monopolist faces two groups of consumers. Group 1 has a demand given by P1=50−2Q1�1=50−2�1 and MR1=50−4Q1��1=50−4�1. Group 2 has a demand given by P2=40−Q2�2=40−�2 and MR2=40−2Q2��2=40−2�2. The monopolist faces a constant marginal cost equal to MC=10��=10.If the monopolist is allowed to engage in 3rd degree price discrimination, how many units of output will the monopolist sell? Question 12Answer a. 25 b. 10 c. 15 d. 20A monopolist faces two markets with demand functions given by q1 = 120 − p1 q2 = 120 − 2p2 The monopolist has no fixed costs of production, and the marginal cost of production is $10. Suppose the monopolist charges the price $80 per unit of output. What is the market demand at this price? Suppose that the monopolist charges different prices per unit of output in the two markets. How much output is produced? What are the prices? What is the monopolist’s profit?
- 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 $94The Buy n Large Corporation (BnL) is a monopolist in a market with the demand function:Qd = 320 − 4pBnL’s marginal cost function is:MC = 20/Q + 4and its average total cost function is:ATC = 240/Q + 20 + Q/8 (d) Suppose the government regulates BnL, so that they are forced to lower their price until social welfareis maximized. Determine the regulated price and quantity.(e) Draw a graph showing the demand curve, marginal revenue curve, and marginal cost curve. Label allaxes and curves. Mark out all intercepts, the profit-maximizing price and quantity, and the regulatedprice and quantity.(f) Determine the deadweight loss caused by BnL’s market power. Use your graph to help accomplish thisA monopolist faces two geographically distinct markets, say market 1 is New York and market2 is California. The inverse demand curves in these markets are P1 = 400 – Q1 and P2 = 200 – Q2. Themonopolist’s total cost function is C(Q) = 0.25Q^2 and marginal cost function is MC(Q) = 0.5Q, where Q =Q1 + Q2 is the total quantity that it produces. Your job is to find out how much quantity to sell in eachmarket in order to maximize the monopolist’s profit.a) Carefully express this monopolist’s profit maximization problem.b) State the two equations that characterize the profit-maximizing amounts of Q1 and Q2, given an interiorsolution with positive quantities sold in each market.c) Solve these two equations for Q1* and Q2*.d) Find the prices P1* and P2* that the monopolist should charge in each market.e) Calculate the monopolist’s (maximized) profit.
- 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 theA monopolist is deciding how to allocate output between two geographically separated markets (Market 1 and 2). Demand and marginal revenue for the two markets are:P1 =15-Q1 P2=25-2Q2 The monopolist's total cost is C=5+3(Q1 + Q2) 2.1 Determine the monopolist profit-maximizing price and output in each region. 2.2 What is the total profit that the monopolist will realize for the two regions?A single-price monopolist faces an inverse demand function of: P(Q,B)=100−Q+B0.5, where Q is the quantity, P is the price, and B is the level of advertising. The marginal cost is a constant $10 per unit, the cost per unit of advertising is $1, and there are no fixed costs. Solve for the firm's profit-maximizing price, quantity, and level of advertising.
