- A monopolist hires you to design its pricing policy. After month of doing market research you realize that the own-price elasticity is not the same for different groups of consumers in the market. (a) If group (a) has an own-price elasticity of 2.16 and group (b) 1.26. Assuming that the firm can directly observe an indicator of belonging to groups (a) and (b), what degree of price-discrimination can the monopolist implement? which group will end up paying more? (b) Will producer's surplus increase or decrease with price discrimination? what about consumer surplus? (consider single pricing vs price discrimination) (c) If a you get hold of a magic crystal ball that tells you the exact willingness to pay of each consumer. What type of price discrimination can the monopolist use to maximize profits? is this strategy “efficient” from the point of view of total surplus? are consumers better-off or worse-off? (Hint: A graph can greatly clarify this part.)For price discriminating monopolist, the inverse demand functions for two markets are given as follows: ?1 = 16 − ?1 ?2 = 9 − ?2 Where: P1 is the price in sub-market 1 P2 is the price in sub-market 2 Q1 is quantity demanded in sub-market 1 Q2 is quantity demanded in sub-market 2 Using the above information, calculate the profit maximizing outputs and prices in each of the submarket when the industry’s marginal cost equals 10 units.A monopoly has the demand schedule p = 210 − 0.2q and the marginal cost schedule MC = 20 + 0.8q (a) If it can practise first-degree price discrimination how much should it sell? (b) If it can practise second-degree price discrimination and it has already made the decision to sell the first 100 units at a price of £190, what price should it charge for the rest of the units it sells?
- Quick Buck and Pushy Sales produce and sell identical products and face zero marginal and average cost. The accompanying graph shows the market demand curve for their product. Price ($/unit) 1000 2000 3000 4,000 Quantity (units/month) If Quick Buck and Pushy Sales decide to collude and work together as a monopolist, then together they should produce Multiple Choice 3,000; $1 4,000; $2 D 2,000; $2 1,000; $3 units per month and charge per unit.Based on the best available econometric estimates, the market elasticity of demand for your firm’s product is −3. The marginal cost of producing the product is constant at $100, while average total cost at current production levels is $175.Determine your optimal per unit price if:Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.a. you are a monopolist.The monthly demand function for a product sold by a monopoly is p=1960-1/3x2 dollars, and the average cost is c=1000+x2 + x2 dollars.production is limited to 1000 units and x is in hundred units. (a) Find the quanity (in hundreds of units) that will give maximum profits. (b) Find the maximum profit. (Round your answers to the nearest cent)
- A monopolist has estimated that IF he enters an industry, he will have fixed costs of $600 and variable costs of Q ^ 2 The price is 2Q - 120 . Will he enter the industry?Exercise A.8 In a small town there is only one theatre, so the owner company is monopolistic and has a constant marginal cost of €10. A group of potential viewers, made up of workers, has the demand curve Q₁ = 80 - P₁. Another group of potential viewers, made up of retirees with lower incomes, has the demand curve Q₂ = 80 - 2P₂. (a) If the local authority authorises price discrimination, determine the monopolist's equilibrium and represent graphically. b) How would the result vary if you could discriminate prices? Represent graphically. c) Relate the equilibrium prices of the previous section with the elasticities of demand of the two groups of spectators. (d) If the monopolist could apply a double tranche tariff, what usage and entry fee would he set if the latter could be different for each group? What benefits would you get? Represent graphically.Exercise 3.9. Describe the two problems that arise when regulators tell a natural monopoly that it must set a price equal to marginal costs.
- Suppose that the Department of Justice (DOJ) vetoes all mergers that are likely to lead to an increase in price of the product. The market demand function is given by P(Q) = 50 – Q. Pre- merger, the market is competitive and the cost function is given by C(Q) = 30Q. Post-merger, the market will be controlled by a monopolist and C(Q) = xQ. For what values of x will the DOJ approve this merger?Explain how bundling is a strategy to deter entry to a market. Provide two examples
