A monopolist has discovered that the inverse demand function of a person with income Y for the monopolist’s product is P = 0.002Y-Q where P is the price, Y the income, and Q is the output. The monopolist can observe the incomes of its consumers and hence vary its price accordingly. The monopolist has a total cost function C(Q) = 100Q. A. Calculate the profit maximising price as a function of the consumer’s income Y carefully explaining all the steps in the derivation of the formula. B. A monopolist has a constant marginal cost of £2 per unit and no fixed costs. He faces two separate markets in the United States and in the UK. The goods sold in one market are never resold in the other. He sets one price P1 for the US market and another price P2 for the UK market (both measured in £). The demand in the United States is given by Q1=7,000-700P1 and the demand in the UK is given by Q2=1,200-200P1.

A monopolist has a cost function of c(y)=yso that its marginal costs are constant at $1 per unit. it faces the following demand curve: 0 if p> 20 or 100/y if p is less than or equal to 20 find (1) What is the profit-maximizing choice of output? (2) If the government could set a price ceiling on this monopolist in order to force it to act as a competitor, what price should the government set? 3) What output would the monopolist produce if he is forced to behave as a competitor?
The demand function of a commodity is P=10-3q and average cost function is AC=q,then calculate the equilibrium price, total revenue, total cost and total profit of a monopolist.
Suppose the inverse demand function is linear: p(q) = a - Bq. The monopolist's cost function is c(q) = 6q2 . Assume the monopolist must charge a uniform price. (a) Find the optimum monopoly price and quantity. Also calculate the deadweight loss. (b) Suppose the government can levy a lump-sum tax T (i.e., a fixed amount independent of production) and an excise tax t per unit of production on the monopolist. These taxes can be negative, in which case they are subsidies. The proceeds of these taxes can be transferred to consumers. The monopolist is always free to quit the market, in which case she does not have to pay any taxes. The government wants to maximize the consumer welfare. Find the optimum values of t and T.

A different industry has a Demand curve given by Q = 100 p − 1 2 Assume that a monopolist supplies this industry. The cost function of this monopolist is c(Q)=2*Q. What is the price the monopolist charges? What is the quantity the monopolist sells?
A monopolist produces output with the following (inverse) demand function: P=120-Q where P is the market price and Q is the market demand of a number of firms. The marginal cost of each firm is constant and the same (water and labor resources come from the same source) of 60. From these market conditions, calculate the change in company profits and social gains due to a decrease in marginal costs so that they become 35 after innovation.
