## Monopoly Demand and Cost TableIn this educational exercise, we examine a monopoly's demand curve and total costs. The table contains columns for quantity (Q), price (P), total revenue (TR), total costs (TC), average total cost (ATC), marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), and total profit.### Table Data:- **Q (Quantity)**: Represents the quantity of goods the monopoly decides to produce and sell.- **P (Price)**: Price at which each unit is sold.- **TR (Total Revenue)**: Calculated as the product of quantity (Q) and price (P).- **TC (Total Costs)**: Provided costs for each level of output.- **ATC (Average Total Cost)**: Calculated as TC divided by Q.- **MC (Marginal Cost)**: Incremental cost of producing an additional unit, can be calculated as the change in TC divided by the change in Q.- **MR (Marginal Revenue)**: Additional revenue generated from selling an additional unit, calculated as the change in TR divided by the change in Q.- **Total Profit**: Calculated as TR minus TC.### Table:| Q | P | TR | TC | ATC | MC | MR | Total Profit ||---|----|----|-----|-----|----|----|--------------|| 0 | 50 | | 40 | | | | || 1 | 45 | | 50 | | | | || 2 | 40 | | 72 | | | | || 3 | 35 | | 95 | | | | || 4 | 30 | | 125 | | | | || 5 | 25 | | 165 | | | | || 6 | 20 | | 225 | | | | |### Questions:a.

Demand P=70-Q MR MR=70-2Q MC MC=10+Q What is this monopolist profit maximizing rule? How much will he produce? What price does he charge?
In the following situation, what should the monopolist do to maximize profit? Select the best answer. A monopolist is currently producing a level of output such that marginal revenue is $143 and marginal cost is $109. The monopolist then sets a price based on demand for the current level of output. Answer 2 Points Keyboard Shortcuts The monopolist should decrease output and decrease price. The monopolist should increase output and increase price. The monopolist should incs The monopolist should decrease output and increase price.
For a monopolist to produce one more unit of output, Select one: a. the price must be equal to the marginal cost b. the difference of total revenue gained and total revenue lost must be greater than zero c. the price must be equal to the average variable cost. d. demand must be in the in inelastic range of the demand curve e. the difference of the price and marginal revenue must be equal to zero
A monopolist faces a demand curve, Q=100-2P and has a constant marginal cost of 10. It has no fixed costs. a. If the monopolist can only charge a single price, it should charge P*= v and produce Q*= v units. b. If the monopolist can charge a separate price for any units sold beyond Q*, then the price of these additional units will lead to additional profit if it is any price in the range of v.A monopolist that charges a separate price for additional units is practicing v price discrimination. c. Now suppose that the monopolist can perfectly price discriminate. What quantity will it produce? d. In terms of social welfare, total surplus will be highest in the pricing scheme described in part v and lowest in the pricing scheme described in part e. In terms of profitability, profit will be highest in the pricing scheme described in part v and lowest in the priceing scheme described in part
