A monopoly has two production plants with cost functions C1 and C2 and x denotes multiplication. C1 equals to 50 plus 0.1x Q1 x Q1 and C2 equals to 30 plus 0.05 x Q2s, where Q2s equals to the square of Q2. The demand it faces is Q. Q equals to 500 minus 10 x P. What is the profit maximizing level of output? Select one: a. Q1 equals to 125; Q2 equals to 62.5. b. None c. Q1 equals to 62.5; Q2 equals to 125. d. Q1 equals to Q2 equals to 62.5. e. Qlequals to Q2 equals to 125

Please explain why this answer is correct.
A monopoly with a cost function C = 400 + 16Q + Q2 faces the following linear demand P = 100 – 2Q. The monopoly is regulated to produce at P = MC. A potential entrant with the same cost function is free to enter. Will that firm enter? Show clearly and defend your answer why/why not it will enter.
A monopolist faces two demand curves in two separate markets. The Market Demand in the first market is P1=100-Q1 and in the second market it is P2=50-0.5Q2. The marginal & average costs are constant at 10 (MC=AC=10). Find the Monopoly Price and Quantity in each market. Find the Perfect Competition Price and Quantity in each market. Calculate Profit, Social Welfare (Consumer and Producer Surpluses), and Dead Weight Loss in both situations and in both markets.
Which of the following is least like monopoly? Sony Corporation A natural gas utility company A cable tv company An electric utility company
For a monopolist assume: Demand: P = 19 – Q TC = 3 + Q + 0.5*Q^2 MC = 1 + Q. Find P, Q that maximize profit. What are profits? What if the authorities open to competition. In the competitive market, describe what should happen to P, Q?
A country that ends a 22-year old state monopoly in telecoms. The phone services market in this country is illustrated by the following equations: Demand: p = 80−q MC: p=−40+2q 1.Draw the the demand, the MR and the MC of the monopolist in the following graph. 2.Suppose a state monopoly on the phone services market. In this case, indicate the price paid by consumers and the quantity exchanged, and calculate the welfare loss compared to the optimal situation. 3.Now consider the situation after the abolition of the state monopoly. With the phone services market now competitive, the state is losing customers, and therefore also losing revenue as a result of new companies entering the market. To compensate for the drop in revenue, the government decides to impose an excise tax of $30 on the phone services market. In this case, indicate the price paid by consumers and the quantity exchanged, and calculate the welfare loss compared to the optimal situation. 4.Give an economic…

For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a raise quantity produced. b lower quantity produced. not change the quantity produced since it is already maximizing profits. d. shut down.
The marginal cost of production is $4, and assume there is no fixed cost. The farmer is the only seller in the market so it will be a monopoly seller. Suppose the demand for the apple is p=32-2q. 1. What is the monopolist's optimal price 2. At this price, what is the buyer surplus? What is the seller surplus?

Profit-maximizing monopoly, quantity, price, and profit from serving this single concrete contractor.2. What would the quantity be if the Manufacturing company serves 100 mixercontractor identical to this one?
