Graphically show a monopoly firm that currently sells 250 units of output at a price of $60/unit, where the marginal revenue of the 250th unit is $40, the marginal cost of the 250th unit is $50, and the average total cost at 250 units is $60. [Hint: Based on the information given, is the quantity you’re asked to show the profit-maximizing quantity? Think about what has to be true for profit-maximization.] Based on the graph and assuming the firm attempts to profit maximize (and succeeds), what would happen to price, quantity, MR, MC, and ATC? (rise, fall, or stay the same?)
Monopoly: Work It Out Earlier we mentioned the special case of a monopoly where MC = 0. Let’s find the firm’s best choice when more goods can be produced at no extra cost. Since so much e‑commerce is close to this model—where the fixed cost of inventing the product and satisfying government regulators is the only cost that matters—the MC = 0 case will be more important in the future than it was in the past. For each demand curve, calculate the profit-maximizing level of output and price as well as the monopolist's profit. a. ?=200−?P=200−Q, fixed cost = 1,000. Profit‑maximizing output Q = Profit‑maximizing price P = $ Monopolist's profit: $ b. ?=4,000−?P=4,000−Q, fixed cost = 900,000 (Driving the point home from part a) Profit‑maximizing output Q = Profit‑maximizing price P = $ Monopolist's profit: $ c. ?=120−12?P=120−12Q, fixed cost = 1,000…
A monopolist’s inverse demand function is estimated as P = 450 − 3Q. The company produces output at two facilities; the marginal cost of producing at facility 1 is MC1(Q1) = 6Q1, and the marginal cost of producing at facility 2 is MC2(Q2) = 2Q2. a. Provide the equation for the monopolist’s marginal revenue function. (Hint: Recall that Q1 + Q2 = Q.) MR(Q) = − Q1 − Q2 b. Determine the profit-maximizing level of output for each facility. Instructions: Round your response to two decimal places. Output for facility 1: Output for facility 2: c. Determine the profit-maximizing price. Instructions: Round your response to the nearest penny (two decimal places). $
A monopolist faces the following market demand function: D(P) = 100 – P and has total costs equal to TC(Q) = 100 + 100 Show that the monopolist's cost function is subadditive for all relevant levels of demand (for all Q< 100). (Hint: Let EN Qi = Q be a way to split up the total production of quantity Q in N different firms. You can then use the fact that the minimum of EN Q? is reached at Qi = 8.)
Question 27 Consider a monopoly market in which the market demand curve is given by P = 240 – 2Q, the marginal revenue curve is MR = 240 – 4Q, the marginal cost curve is MC = 2Q, and there are zero fixed costs. Suppose the government intervenes and turns the market into a competitive market, and all the firms in the market have the same marginal cost curve as the monopolist, MC = 2Q, and zero fixed costs. How much is the resulting gain in total surplus? 300 800 400 600
A monopoly sells its good in the U.S. and Japanese markets. The American inverse demand function is Pa = 90 - Qa' and the Japanese inverse demand function is P₁ = 80 - 2Qj, where both prices, På and p₁, are measured in dollars. The firm's marginal cost of production is m = $25 in both countries. If the firm can prevent resales, what price will it charge in both markets?

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?

A monopolist faces two markets with demand functions given by q1 = 120 − p1 q2 = 120 − 2p2 The monopolist has no fixed costs of production, and the marginal cost of production is $10. Suppose the monopolist charges the price $80 per unit of output. What is the market demand at this price? Suppose that the monopolist charges different prices per unit of output in the two markets. How much output is produced? What are the prices? What is the monopolist’s profit?

The figure to the right shows the market demand for electricity and the average total cost and marginal cost of producing electricity for a utility company. Suppose the utility company is a regulated natural monopoly. If government regulators want to achieve economic efficiency, then they will regulate a price of $ per kilowatt hour. (Enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to two decimal places) Now suppose instead that government regulators want to eat the lowest price such that the utility company will not suffer a loss so that it will continue to produce in the long run. If so, then i government regulators will set a price of $ per kilowatt hour.
