A monopolist can produce at constant average total and marginal cost of ATC = MC = $20. (Constant ATC = MC implies that there are no fixed costs.) The firm faces a market demand curve given by QD = 40 - P. The monopolist's marginal revenue curve is given by MR = 40 - 2QD. Graph this situation, then calculate the monopolist's profit-maximizing price-quantity and the monopolist's profits. What output level would be produced by a corresponding perfectly competitive industry? What would be the price level? Calculate the "deadweight losses" from monopolization of the industry. Show the DWL on the graph.
A monopolist with total cost 500 - 100Q + 3Q2 and marginal cost MC = 6Q - 100 faces average revenue (demand) P = 2,000 - 2Q and hence marginal revenue MR = 2000 - 4Q. Calculate: (a) the quantity that the monopolist will sell (b) the price that the monopolist will charge (c) the competitive quantity (d) the competitive price (c) the deadweight loss from monopoly power
The following graph shows the demand (D) for cable services in the imaginary town of Utilityburg. The graph also shows the marginal revenue (MR) curve, the marginal cost (MC) curve, and the average total cost (ATC) curve for the local cable company, a natural monopolist. On the following graph, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for this natural monopolist. Which of the following statements are true about this natural monopoly? Check all that apply. It is more efficient on the cost side for one producer to exist in this market rather than a large number of producers. The cable company is experiencing economies of scale. The cable company must own a scarce resource. The cable company is experiencing diseconomies of scale. True or False: Without government regulation, natural monopolies never earn zero profit in the long run. True False
Place the black point (plus symbol) on the following graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity of a monopolist. ? PRICE (Dollars per hot dog) 5.0 6 4.0 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0 0 50 100 Monopoly MR MC D 150 200 250 300 350 400 QUANTITY (Hot dogs) Competitive Monopoly Price Market Structure (Dollars) 450 500 Consider the welfare effects when the industry operates under a competitive market versus a monopoly. Monopoly Outcome On the monopoly graph, use the black points (plus symbol) to shade the area that represents the loss of welfare, or deadweight loss, caused by a monopoly. That is, show the area that was formerly part of total surplus and now does not accrue to anybody. Deadweight Loss Deadweight loss occurs when a monopoly controls a market because the resulting equilibrium is different from the competitive outcome, which is efficient. Quantity (Hot dogs) In the following table, enter the price and quantity that would arise in a competitive market; then enter the…
Suppose that a monopolist’s demand curve is given by P(y) = 28−3y and its marginal cost is given by MC(y) = y, where y denotes output.a. Find the profit-maximizing quantity and price for this monopolist. Illustrate your answer with a graph.b. Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus and thedeadweight loss of this monopoly. (You may find it helpful to refer tothe graph you drew for part a.)c. Carefully explain why a monopoly creates a deadweight loss.
A monopolist faces the following market demand function: D(P) = 100 – P and has total costs equal to TC(Q) = 100 + 100 Show that the monopolist's cost function is subadditive for all relevant levels of demand (for all Q< 100). (Hint: Let EN Qi = Q be a way to split up the total production of quantity Q in N different firms. You can then use the fact that the minimum of EN Q? is reached at Qi = 8.)
Suppose a monopolist has a revenue function: R(y) = 20y Suppose further their cost of production is c(y) = 10y. Which of the following is true when the monopolist produces the optimal quantity? None of the other answers are correct Price is 10 Output is 6 O Price is 6 The cost of production is 25
1. A monopolist has a production function, Q = AL KB with 0 < a+B < 1. The cost of capital is r, the wage rate is w, and the monopolist takes both as given. The demand function for the monopolist is M Q 1+ exp {p} !! What is the long-run demand for labor?
Suppose a monopolist faces the following costs for the various levels of output shown below. Output Total Cost Average Total Cost 500 $1,000 500 3,000 1600 12,000 4,800 60,000 9,600 360,000
The figure at right shows the demand line, marginal revenue line, and cost curves for a single-price monopolist. Now suppose the monopolist is able to charge a different price on each different unit sold. The profit-maximizing quantity for the monopolist is whole number.)

A monopolist seller of Irish ceramics faces the following demand function for its product: P = 62 - .25Q. The fixed cost is $20 and the average variable cost per unit is $.5. What is the profit maximizing quantity for this monopoly? The price elasticity of demand at the monopoly price is _____ Please do fast ASAP fast
Use the following demand schedule for a pure monopolist to calculate total revenue and marginal revenue at each quantity. Plot the monopolist’s demand curve and marginal-revenue curve, and explain the relationships between them. Explain why the marginal revenue of the fourth unit of output is $3.50, even though its price is $5. What generalization can you make as to the relationship between the monopolist’s demand and its marginal revenue? Suppose the marginal cost of successive units of output was zero. What output would the single-price monopolist produce, and what price would it charge?
