10. A monopoly has a demand curve given by P = 20-Q and its cost function is TC = Q2+70. Find the monopoly’s quantity and price. What is this firm’s profit? Should this firm remain open or shut down in the SR? Why?
Refer to the table below. What is the total cost if the monopoly operates at the profit - maximizing output? Price($) Quantity TR ($) TC ($) 5 2 10 8 4 4 16 10 3 6 18 12 2 8 16 18 1 10 10 25
Problem 3. Suppose a company has a fixed cost of 20 and a marginal cost that is constant at 2. The demand curve is P=24-Q. Explain why this is a natural monopoly. Contrast regulation that sets the price at marginal cost with regulation that sets it at average cost. How do the outputs and surpluses differ? Calculate the DWL under average cost pricing. Illustrate outputs, prices, and DWL in a diagram.
Is a monopoly always bad for society? Question 6 options: None of the other answers is correct Yes. Monopoly is always bad Monopoly is not bad if its owner gives back to society in charity No. For example, patents on medications create monopolies, and increase the price and reduce the quantity sold, but without them, no one would take the high costs of developing new drugs and the quantity will be... zero!
The diagram below shows the curves for Durham Co., a natural monopoly. Price/ Cost (2700,$23) (2700 $15) MR Demand ATC MC Quantity What is the equilibrium quantity that Durham Co. will produce? What is the price that Durham Co. charges? $
Please Answer part f . please draw the complete graph Suppose a monopolist faces demand D = 6 − Q and MR = 6 − 2Q, and has costs T C = 1 + 2Q, and MC = 2. The monopolist is unable to price discriminate. a. Derive the ATC. Is this a natural monopoly and why?. b. Draw the demand curve, MR, MC, ATC on a graph. Make sure to label the curves and axes clearly Calculate the value of the optimal Q and P. Label this on the graph of the previous question (part b). d. Calculate the value of the profit at this point. Also label this on the graph (part b). e. The government’s antitrust division determines this monopoly has too much market power. It has two options: break the monopoly into two smaller companies, or regulate it using a price ceiling. Which should it do and why?. f. The government has decided to enact the price ceiling. On the graph, label the price ceiling that maximizes consumer surplus. Indicate this consumer surplus on the graph (part b).
Dan is the only seller of widgets in town. The market for widgets is characterized by the following: Demand: P = 175-Q Marginal Revenue: MR = 175-2Q Marginal Cost: MC = 25+ 3Q What is the deadweight loss associated with this monopoly? 225 115 88.5 112.5
You are the manager of a monopoly. If the marginal cost of your product is $100 and the price elasticity of demand for your product is 3, then the markup of price over marginal cost you should set is equal to. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) (Round your answer to one decimal place.) If the price elasticity of demand is 6 rather than 3, the markup you should set is equal to Use your knowledge of the factors that affect the magnitude of the price elasticity of demand to explain the difference in the markups in your answers to the last two parts. O A. A smaller price elasticity of demand suggests that your good is a normal good, which allows you to set a higher markup. OB. A smaller price elasticity of demand suggests that there are many substitutes for your good, which allows you to set a higher markup. OC. A smaller price elasticity of demand suggests that there are few substitutes for a good, which allows you to set a higher markup. D. A smaller price elasticity of demand…
12. You’ve been hired as a consultant by a monopoly. You discover that the demand curve facing the monopoly is given by P = 80-Q and MC = 3Q. The firm is currently charging a price of $60. Using this information and a carefully drawn and labeled diagram and assuming that the firm should remain open, explain what the firm should do and why.
How do I figure out the second part?
What is the profit maximization condition the monopoly uses to choose optimal quantity? Again assume a single price monopoly. Question 5 options: MR=FC P=MC P=FC MR=MC
Natural monopoly is inefficient as it charges a price higher than marginal cost. Is it feasible for the government to regulate the monopoly by setting a price equal to marginal cost? Explain with a diagram.
