Acme is a monopolist for a good with inverse demand P = 4000 – 6Q, where P is the price in dollars and Q is the amount sold. Acme's variable costs are TVC(Q) = 4Q².

A monopolist's demand function is P = 1624 - 4Q, and its total cost function is TC = 22,000 + 24Q -4Q2 + 1/3 Q3, where Q is output produced and sold. At what level of output and sales (Q) and price (P) will total profits be maximized? At what level of output and sales (Q) and price (P) will total revenue be maximized? At what price (P) should the monopolist shut down?
A monopolist has the following marginal revenue function MR = 1,600 - 20Q, and marginal cost function MC = 200 + 30Q and faces the following the demand curve p 1200-10Q. And the total cost function is TC= 200Q+15Q². Q refers to the number of units produced by the monopolist. Find the profit maximizing quantity (in number of units produced) for this monopolist. The result should be an integer number, no decimals (e.g. if the result is 3.65 write 4, if the result is 3.64, write 3). = Your Answer:
Suppose a monopolist faces two markets withdemand curves given by D1(p1) = 200 − p1D2(p2) = 100 − 2p2Assume that the monopolist’s cost function is c(y) = y2 1. What is the optimal prices for the monopolist if it can charge different prices in these markets?2. What is the optimal price if the monopolist must charge the same price in each market?3. How much total consumers’ surplus changes between the two separate prices and the sameprice cases?
A monopolist originally charges one price when producing output for consumers with a market demand function P(Q) = 86 – Q. Their total cost function is TC(Q) = 7,500 + 8Q, where MC is constant and equal to $8. Part (a): When the firm behaves as a single-price monopolist, what is the equilibrium market price and market output level? Suddenly, the firm discovers that there are actually two groups of consumers in the market. The first group demands the product according to P (q1) = 98 – 1, while the second group's willingness to pay can be summarized as P(q2) = 62 – 92, where q1 + q2 %3D Part (b): How much output is sold to each group and what price is charged to each group of consumers?
Consider a monopolist with a total cost function given as C(Q) = 1.5Q2 + 40Q that faces an inverse market demand function P(Q) = 280 − 0.5Q **Calculate the profit-maximizing quantity, price, and economic profits for this monopolist, with the government imposing a $20 per unit tax.
