The following is information for a perfectly price discriminating monopolist. Demand: P = 87 - 0.021Q %3D Marginal cost = 10 + 0.029Q Calculate the producer surplus for the monopolist at their optimal quantity. Answer: 59290
a) What is the per unit cost of the product? b) What are the demand and inverse demand functions? Now assume the local government begins to provide 100 units per week at the market price. c) What is the residual demand left for the monopolist?
A monopolist sells output for $4.00 per unit at the current level of production. At this level of output, the marginal cost is $3.00, average variable costs are $3.75, and average total costs are $4.25. The marginal revenue is $3.00. What is the short-run condition for the monopolist and what output changes would you recommend?
A firm is originally operating as a single-price monopolist that faces a market demand curve P(Q) = 198 –0 and total cost curve equal to TC (q) = 10, 500 + 32Q, with constant MC equal to MC(Q) = 32 for all units produced. Part (a): How much output does the firm produce and at what price is each unit sold for? Part (b): Calculate the firm's profit. The firm now realizes there are actually two distinct groups of consumers that purchase their product, with the following demand functions: P(q1) = 242 – qı P(q2) = 176 – 92 Their total and marginal cost curves have not changed. If the firm wanted to successfully practice third-degree price discrimination: Part (c): How many units of output would they sell to group 1 and how much will each consumer in group 1 pay? Part (d): How many units of output would they sell to group 2 and how much will each consumer in group 2 pay? Part (e): How much profit is earned by the firm when they practice third-degree price discrimination? Part (f): How much…
Cigarland is a Latin American country producing cigars. If the unit cost is 11 dollars and firms' mark up is 20 per cent, calculate the price of each cigar.
