A monopoly book publisher with a constant marginal cost (and average cost) of MC=2 sells a novel in only two countries and faces a linear inverse demand curve of P₁ = 6-0.50, in Country 1 and P₂ =9-Q₂ in Country 2. What price would a profit-maximizing monopoly charge in each country with and without a ban against shipments between countries? With a ban against shipments between countries, the monopoly would charge Country 1 a price of and Country 2 a price of With the ban, the monopoly's profit (x) is Without a ban against shipments betwen countries, the monopoly would charge both countries a price of Without the ban, the monopoly's profit (x) is P₁ = $ P₂ = $(Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)

↑ If a monopoly faces an inverse demand curve of p=270-Q has a constant marginal and average cost of $90, and can perfectly price discriminate, what is its profit? What are the consumer surplus, welfare, and deadweight loss? How would these results change if the firm were a single-price monopoly? Profit from perfect price discrimination (x) is $ 16.200 (Enter your response as a whole number) Corresponding consumer surplus is (enter your response as whole numbers): welfare is and deadweight loss is CS=$ W-s OWL-S

Suppose Bang Bang is the only local swimming pool. She believes that there are 10 potential customers. Each of them has an identical demand function of QI = 250 – 0.02P, with QI as the unit of services of each customer. She operates with a constant variable cost of $500 per unit of service. If Bang Bang is a single price monopoly, calculate the price she should charge for her service. Show your calculations.

a) Find and highlight the consumer surplus in the monopoly in the diagram.b) Draw a possible marginal cost curve for the monopolist into the diagram that is consistentwith all the other curves that are already given. c) Based on the marginal cost curve that you constructed in part (b), find and highlight themonopolist’s total costs at the monopoly price in the diagram. d) Briefly (200 words max) explain the shape of the marginal revenue curve as compared tothe demand curve in the diagram.
Suppose a monopoly firm’s total cost of production TC = f + c•Q where f > 0 and c > 0. Is this firm a “natural monopoly”? Answer ‘Yes” or “No” based on your explanation of the meaning of a “natural monopoly.”
This is part 1 of a three-parts question. A uniform-pricing monopoly faces the inverse demand function P = 50 - 4Q and has costs given by TC = 100 + 20Q + 3Q². Fill in the blanks. The monopolist will produce decimal places.) units of output at a unit price of (Round to at least 2
What is the peculiar shape of a natural monopolist's average total cost (ATC) curve, and what is the cause of that unusual shape? Fully explain why this type of ATC curve is likely to result in a natural monopoly, and draw a contrast between the ATC curve of a natural monopolist and that of a typical firm in a competitive industry.
A monopolist sells the same good in two geographically separated markets, market 1 and market 2. The firm maximizes its profit by charging different prices: p₁ = 37 in market 1 and p2 in market two. The own-price elasticity of the demand in market 1 is -27 and the own-price elasticity of the demand in market 2 is -13. Find the price the firm charges in market 2, P2, and enter it below. (Hint: Write down the inverse elasticity rule for each market. What "element" common to both expressions?)
A monopolist book publisher with a constant marginal cost of 2 and no fixed costs sells novels in only two countries. Assume the inverse demand curve in country 1 is given by P1=10-2/3q and the inverse demand curve in country 2 is given by P2=18-qIf book imports are permitted in both countries so that price discrimination is impossible, what is the equilibrium price and quantity sold in the two countries combined?
