Imagine that you ale managing a small firm and thinking about entering the market of a monopolist. The monopolist is currently charging a high price, and you have calculated that you can make a nice profit charging 10 less than the monopolist. Before you go ahead and challenge the monopolist, what possibility should you consider for how the monopolist might react?

Consider a mature maket with a demand given by P=105.4-10Q The cost of production is given by C=10Q For many years this market has been served by a monopolist. How much profit would the firm lose if it is forced to behave as a competitive firm In all your calculations use numbers with 4 decimal places.
When selling downloadable software, e-books, and music streaming platforms, the marginal cost of making one more unit is basically zero. The average total cost is currently $1 per book.

Suppose a monopoly market has a demand function in whichquantity demanded depends not only on market price (P) butalso on the amount of advertising the firm does (A, measuredin dollars). The specific form of this function isQ =(20 - P2) (1 + 0.1A - 0.01A2).The monopolistic firm’s cost function is given byC = 10Q + 15 + A.a. Suppose there is no advertising (A = 0). What outputwill the profit-maximizing firm choose? What market price will this yield? What will be the monopoly’sprofits?b. Now let the firm also choose its optimal level of advertising expenditure. In this situation, what output levelwill be chosen? What price will this yield? What will thelevel of advertising be? What are the firm’s profits in thiscase? Hint: This can be worked out most easily by assuming the monopoly chooses the profit-maximizing pricerather than quantity.

A monopolist has a total cost curve represented by TC = 50 + 2Q + Q², and a marginal cost curve represented by MC = 2 + 2Q. The monopolist faces the demand curve P = 100 –3Q.
