A monopoly's inverse demand function is p=Q-0.25A0.5 where Q is its quantity, p is its price, and A is the level of advertising. Its marginal cost of production is constant at 6, and its cost of a unit of advertising is 0.125. What is the firm's profit-maximizing price, quantity, and level of advertising? The profit-maximizing quantity is Q= unit(s) and the profit-maximizing level of advertising is A= (Enter your responses as whole numbers.)

Scenario 15-2 A monopoly firm maximizes its profit by producing 500 units output (so Q = 500). At that level of output, its marginal revenue is $32, its average revenue is $42, and its average total cost is $36. Refer to Scenario 15-2. At Q = 500, what is the firm's marginal cost? $36 $32 less than $32 greater than $36
Consider a monopolist with the following demand curve. Price: 24, 22 , 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6 Quantity Demanded: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 [All answers are integers with no units.] 1.If this firm has a marginal cost of $12 per unit, how many will they produce? 2.What will their profit be? 3.What will consumer surplus be? (Rectangle method!) 4.What is the efficient quantity?

Jackelina's company is a monopoly that faces demand Qd = a - bp, where a and b are positive numbers. The monopolist's marginal revenue function is: MR = a-2bP MR = a/Q - b = MR a/b - 2Q/b MR = a -2bQ
The market demand for a good in a monopoly is P = 400-2Q. The good can be produced at a constant cost of $40. What is the amount of producer surplus?
1. A firm faces the following inverse demand curve: P = 500 - 0.25Q Where: Q is the monthly production P is price, measured in dollars per unit. The firm also has a total cost (TC) function of: TC = 200Q. Assuming the firm maximizes profits, answer the following: a) Assuming the firm operates as a monopolist, calculate the following: price, quantity, and profit. Graph and show the equilibrium price and quantity. b) Assuming perfect competition, what are price, quantity and profit? Show on the graph from above.
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?

Suppose a monopoly's price elasticity of demand equals-5 and the marginal cost of production equals $500.00. The profit-maximizing price is $ 625 (Enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to two decimal places.) What will be the firm's markup? When maximizing profit, the monopoly's markup is______percent. (Round your response to the nearest percent.)
For the monopoly represented by the figure to the right, at what quantity is its revenue maximized? (Hint: Revenue is maximize where MR = 0.) Why is revenue maximized at a larger quantity than profit? Show the revenue curve. In the figure to the right, let D be demand and MR be marginal revenue. The quantity at which revenue is maximized is Q = 10 units. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.) Revenue is maximized at a larger quantity than profit because A. costs are decreasing in output. OB. marginal costs can be negative. C. marginal revenue is decreasing in output. OD. D. revenue is greater than profit. OE. profit is decreasing in output. Using the three-point curved line drawing tool, graph the monopoly's revenue curve. Label this curve 'R.'

Imagine an industry in which the demand curve is P = 200 – .01Q, and there is only one firm, a perfectly price discriminating monopoly with a cost function of C = 0.01Q2 + 100Q + 8000. Find its producer surplus at the monopolist’s equilibrium quantity.
