Question

A monopolist has demand and cost curves given by:

QD = 1000 - 2P TC = 5,000 + 50Q

Find the monopolist's profit-maximizing quantity and price.
Find the monopolist's profit.

Defintion Defintion Curve that represents the graphical relationship between the total supply of goods and services and the price level in the economy. When the price level increases, producers tend to supply more of a product in the market to earn a higher revenue or vice versa.

Assume quantities need not be integers. Assume a profit maximizing monopolist with marginal cost equal to $4 faces demand MWTP(Q) = 14 - 2Q. Assuming it must charge the same price for each unit it sells, what is elasticity of demand at the price it chooses?
A monopolist has four distinct groups of customers: group A has an elasticity of demand of 0.2, group B has an elasticity of demand of 0.8, group C has an elasticity of demand of 1.0, and group D has an elasticity of demand of 2.0. The group paying the highest price for the product will be group: a) D. b) C. c) B. d) A.

A movie theatre (a local monopolist) caters to students and other adults. The demand function for students is Qd = 2,700 – 150 P and the demand function for other adults is Qd = 2,500 – 50 P . Marginal cost is 2 per ticket. Assume that the monopolist can discriminate. What price willthe monopolist set for students? Pg = $ What price will the monopolist set for other adults? PA = 8 Section Attempt 1 of 1 Verify
A wholesaler (upstream firm) sells a product to a retailer (downstream firm). Both the wholesaler and the retailer are monopolists. The wholesaler faces a constant marginal cost of $2 and charges the retailer a wholesale price w. The retailer resells the product to final consumers at price Pand the wholesale price w is its only cost. The demand for the good is P = 12 – Q. For your calculations below, assume that both the P and w are measured in dollars per unit. Hint: The retailer's profit function is T = (P – w)Q. a Find the profit-maximizing retail and wholesale prices and quantities.
Consider a monopolist that maximizes profits and charges all consumers the same price. The inverse demand function is P = 600 – Q2, where P is the price and Q is output. Marginal cost is always zero. What price and level of output will the monopolist choose?
Consider an incumbent/monopolist with the following demand and marginal cost: P=300–Q; MC=$50. a. What is the profit maximizing price and output for the monopolist? What is the monopolist’s profit? b. Suppose there is a potential entrant, but the entrant has a cost disadvantage. The entrant’s MC = $75. Solve for the residual demand curve for the potential entrant (the entrant assumes that the monopolist will not change their total quantity from part a). c. What is the entrant’s output, price, and profit? What is the monopolist’s profit? d. What is the limit price that the monopolist could charge to deter entry? e. Is the threat/promise of the monopolist to charge the limit price a credible threat, or is the monopolist better off accommodating entry? Explain briefly.
Assume quantities need not be integers. A monopolist incurs marginal cost equal to MC=Q per unit and faces demand P(Q)=18 – 3 x Q. If there is no fixed cost for production, what is the total cost of production?
A monopolist faces the demand curve Q = 144 / P2, where Q is the quantity demanded and P is price. Its average variable cost is AVC = Q1/2 and its fixed cost is 20. What is the monopolist's profit-maximizing quantity, price, and profit?
Solve as fast as possible. Solve it correctly.
A monopolist is selling a product with a linear demand curve with a vertical intercept of P=10 dollars (a price above which no one will buy the product) and a horizontal intercept of 20 thousand (the amount people would consume of the product were free). The product has zero marginal cost of zero (e.g., downloadable software). The profit-maximizing monopolist will set a price equal to dollars, produce and sell a quantity of thousand units, and will earn revenue of thousand dollars.
Create graph that includes: Demand curve, marginal cost, and marginal revenue. Identify the profit-maximizing quantity and price for this monopolist. To do this you will need to determine marginal revenue at each level of output. Choose output that satisfies the monopolist’s profit maximizing condition of MR = MC. Does this firm earn a profit? How much profit if they do?
