E4 Suppose that the monopolist can produce with total cost: TC = 10Q. Assume that the monopolist sells its goods in two different markets separated by some distance. The demand curves in the first market and the second market are given by Q1 = 120 - 4P1, and Q2. = 240 - 2P2. Suppose that consumers can mail the product from cheaper location to a more expensive location freely (mailing cost $0). What would be the monopolist profit? 3750,3500,5250,4000.
4. Suppose a textbook monopoly can produce any level of output it wishes at a constant marginal (and average) cost of $5 per book. Assume that the monopoly sells its books in two different markets that are separated by some distance. The demand curve in the first market is given by Q₁ = 55 - P₁ and the curve in the second market is given by Q2 = 70 - 2P₂. a) If the monopolist charge the same price, how many units should it sell? What price should it charge to maximize its profits? What are profits in this situation? (Answer: Q = 55 units) b) If the monopolist can maintain the separation between the two markets, what level of output should be produced in each market and what price will prevail in each market? What are total profits in this situation? (Answer: Q₁ = 25 units; Q₂ = 30 units)

[Q: 11-4660750j Consider a monopoly that faces an inverse demand curve with a constant elasticity, p(Q) = Q°, and that has a constant marginal cost, MC(Q) = m. If the own-price elasticity is e = - 6.9, marginal costs are m=7, and the government imposes a specific tax on the monopolist, what will be the tax incidence on consumers? O A. 65.42% O B. 38.1% OC. the same incidence as when the tax is imposed on a perfectly competitive firm. O D. 50% O E. 116.95%

Cost function is TC = 61,000 – 100Q. a. As an economic adviser, determine the Prices to be charged in the three markets and amount of output to be sold in each market so that total profits can be maximized. b. Calculate the total profit to be made from the strategy of price discrimination and clearly explain how this strategy has aided this monopolist.
