You own a road resurfacing business called Dahyun Bricks services located in Seoul. You are the only reservicing business in South Korea. Therefore, you have a local monopoly. Your experience running the company for many years has taught you that market demand for your service can be described by the demand function: p = 20 - Q. The cost function is c =q². Therefore, marginal cost equals 2q. Quantity refersto square metre of road resurfacing. Note the Q denotes aggregate market demand and q denotes your production. Of course, if you are the only supplier than q = Q. a) Compute profit maximising price and output. Compute profits. b) The monopoly profit that you have been earning has attracted attention from another firm that will set up operations in South Koreaand compete for market share. You are concerned with losing market share and profit. So, you offer the potential entrant the following deal. Both firms agree to maximise industry profits (joint profits). The potential entrant…
Suppose a monopolist faces a demand equation given by P=20-Q, and a marginal revenue equation given by MR = 20-2Q, and MC=AVC=ATC=$6. What is the deadweight loss associated with the monopolist? a) $8.5 b) $33.25 c) $24.5 d) $12.5
Jackelina's company is a monopoly that faces demand Qd = a - bp, where a and b are positive numbers. The monopolist's marginal revenue function is: MR = a-2bP MR = a/Q - b = MR a/b - 2Q/b MR = a -2bQ
Suppose a monopolist's total cost function is given by c = 0.004q +30q + 2000, and the revenue function is r = q(1200 - 6q), where c is measured in dollars and q is measured in tonnes per week. a. Determine marginal cost when g = 50. b. Express profit (n) as a function of q. Determine the profit-maximising level of output and the corresponding maximum profit. Justify your answers. C.
A monopolist is able to price discriminate in two market segments. The inverse demand curve in segment 1 is P1 = 400 - Q1 and the inverse demand curve in segment 2 is P2 = 300 - Q2. The firm's total cost function is TC = Q^2. How many units will the monopolist sell and at what price in segment 1 and segment 2?
= 240 + 0.5Q², and face 4. A monopolist has the cost function TC(Q) market demand P = 45 – Q. (a) Find the monopoly equilibrium price and output. Find the monopolist's profit.
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?
Consider a monopolist facing a market demand given by: P = 200 - 4Q. Where P is the price and Q is the quantity. The monopolist produces the good according to the cost function c(Q) = Q2 + 5. Determine the profit maximizing quantity and price the monopolist will offer in the market. Calculate the profits for the monopolist. Calculate the deadweight loss due to a monopoly. Illustrate this in a well labelled diagram. I will thumbs up solution if it is original answer and not from ChatGPT, if ChatGPT is used I will thumbs-down and report to Chegg as ChatGPT returns the incorrect answer here and I'm stuck. Thank you! :)
Consider a monopolist facing an inverse demand function p(q) = 15 – 3q, where q denotes units of output. Assume that the total cost of this firm is TC(q) = 5 + 4q. i. Find the monopolists marginal revenue and its marginal cost Find the monopolists optimal output q", price, and profits Assume now that the market operated under perfect competition. Compute the equilibrium output, price, and profits i. iii.
Assume that a monopolist faces a demand curve for its product given by: p=130−3q Further assume that the firm's cost function is: TC=490+10q What is the profit for the firm at the optimal quantity and price?
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.
Suppose a monopolist has MC= 4 and faces the demand curve P = 94 ―(1/6)Qd. What is the formula for the firm’s marginal revenue?
