All consumers are alike and each has an demand curve for a monopolist’s product of P=100- 2Qd. The marginal cost of production is constant at MC = $10. Let the monopolist charge a price of $10 per unit purchased and a subscription fee of $2025 that must be paid by each purchaser. What is the amount of consumer’s surplus left over by this scheme

Consider a situation when the producer is a monopolist. Assume that the market demand is P=20-Q. The monopolistic marginal cost is equal to zero and the government impresses a unit tax on the producer equal to 10. How is the price level affected by this Tax?
Economics Consider the following cost function faced by the monopolist: TC(q)= 2q2+20q+10. The demand faced by the monopolist is the following: p(q)=200-10q, where q denotes quantity and p denotes price. Find the price and quantity that maximizes profit of the monopolist. If the monopolist becomes a perfectly price discriminating monopolist, calculate the Consumer Surplus and Producer Surplus.
Create graph that includes: Demand curve, marginal cost, and marginal revenue. Identify the profit-maximizing quantity and price for this monopolist. To do this you will need to determine marginal revenue at each level of output. Choose output that satisfies the monopolist’s profit maximizing condition of MR = MC. Does this firm earn a profit? How much profit if they do?
A monopolist has a demand curve given by Q=100-P and a total cost curve given by TC= Q2 + 16. Find the monopolist’s profit maximizing quantity and price. Indicate them on the graph. How much economic profit will the monopolist earn? Calculate the price elasticity of demand at the equilibrium price level.
Suppose a profit-maximizing monopolist has total cost and marginal cost as follow TC = 8Q + 10 and MC = 8. It faces the demand curve P = 20-1/5Q. a) What is the equilibrium price and output?b) What is the total profit?c) Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss if the firm acts as a monopolist. Illustrate your answer with a diagram
Consider a monopolist facing a demand curve of P = 600 – 5q and with a constant marginal cost of MC = $30 per unit. Suppose the monopolist started off by setting price and quantity using the MR = MC method. Later, the monopolist engaged in first degree price discrimination. What is the change in quantity?

The table below shows a monopolist's demand curve and the cost information for the production of its good. If the monopolist is trying to maximize its profit what would it be? Quantity Price per Unit Total Cost 10 $100 $100 20 $80 $400 30 $60 $800 40 $40 $1,400 50 $20 $2,400 Question 40 options: a) $1,200 b) $1,000 c) $1,600 d) $1, 800
There are two groups of consumers. In the first group, each consumer has the inverse demand function P = 100 – 2Q. In the second group, each consumer has the inverse demand function P = 60 – 2Q. There are 5 consumers in each group, or 10 consumers in all. Marginal cost is always zero. The monopolist wants to maximize profits by designing a two-part tariff. Calculate the two parts of the tariff, and calculate profits.
A monopolist serves a market with five potential buyers, each of whom would buy at most one piece of the monopolist’s good. Anna would be willing to pay up to £80 for it, Bob up to £90, Chloe up to £100, Dave up to £110 and Elizabeth up to £120. The monopolist’s variable cost function is given in below table. a) Indicate in the table which price the monopolist would want to charge for each given quantity. b) Find the marginal revenue for each quantity. c) Find the monopolist’s profit maximising price under the assumption that he wants to produce anything at all. d) How large can the monopolist’s fixed costs be such that he still wants to start producing at all?
Suppose that a monopolistic seller of designer handbags faces the following inverse demand curve: P= 50 – 0.4q. The seller can produce handbags for a constant marginal and average total cost of $10. Calculate the profit-maximizing price for this seller. Now, suppose the government levies a $4 tax per unit on sellers of handbags. Calculate how this tax will affect the price the monopolist charges its customers and who will bear the burden of this tax.
A monopolist sells the same product at the same price into two different markets. The demand for the product in market #1 is denoted D,(p) = 15 – p where p is the unit price. The demand for the product in market #2 is given by D2(p) = 40 – 6p. 1. If the monopolist sets a price of $8 per unit, what is the total demand? 2. Explain why elasticity of total demand is not defined at a unit price of 20. 3
