Babydrink is a monopolist due to its patent in infant formula. The total cost for production in dollars is given by C(q) = 24q2 + 600q +9600. a) What is the fixed cost? b) Find a function that gives the marginal cost. c) Find a function that gives the average cost. d) Find the efficient scale (that minimizes the average cost). e) Verify it is the most efficient not the least efficient.
A new restaurant – Uovo – has just opened in West L.A. It is serving the upscale market, with truly outstanding pasta that is flown in overnight from Bologna, Italy. Uovo offers a fixed-price menu with appetizer, three dishes of pasta, and a delicious tiramisu for dessert. The restaurant faces the following demand function: Q = 600 - 4P where Q is the number of guests per day. The marginal cost is constant at $50 per customer (including expenses for ingredients and personnel). The restaurant is paying a rent of $2,000 per day. What is the profit-maximizing number of guests that Uovo should serve each day, and what price should Uovo charge to maximize profit? What is the elasticity of demand at the optimal price and quantity? Is demand elastic or inelastic at this point? From what we learned in class, does it make sense for the restaurant to operate in this area of the demand curve (elastic/inelastic part)? What is the profit of the restaurant at the optimal price and quantity, and what…

Based on the best available econometric estimates, the market elasticity of demand for your firm's product is -2.0. The marginal cost of producing the product is constant at $75, while average total cost at current production levels is $140.

Suppose 4Sisters is a patented vaccine. Her producer is facing a linear demand function for 4Sisters. She manufactures at a constant marginal cost of $20. Reports indicate that she produces 12,000 units of vaccine. She charges a unit price of $400. She is making a positive economic profit of $1,500,000. Draw a well-labelled diagram to indicate the output decision, pricing decision, economic profit, and the resultant deadweight loss in the market for 4Sisters. Indicate key figures with reference to the above given information.
A city has two newspapers. Demand for either paper depends on its own price and the price of its rival. Demand functions for papers A and B respectively, measured in tens of thousands of subscriptions, are 21-2Pa + Pb and 21 + Pa-2Pb The marginal cost of printing and distributing an extra paper just equals the extra advertising revenue one gets from another reader, so each paper treats marginal costs as zero. Each paper maximizes its revenue assuming that the other's price is independent of its own choice of price. If the papers enter a joint operating agreement where they set prices to maximize total revenue, by how much will newspaper prices rise? (a) 3 (b) 2 (c) 0 (d) 3.5 (e) 2.5

(b) Consider two firms, 1 and 2 , operating in a monopolistic competitive market. The cost functions of the firms are: TC_(1)=20+20 Q and TC_(2)=80+80Q, respectively. Would it be rational for both firms to compete in the world market, given the market demand curve of Q=100-P, and they have to bear a trade cost of $30 per unit? Explain with the help of a diagram. please give answer with compleete steps and diagram.
Assume the first year demand curve for a new drug Livehappy is given by Q=2000-P, where P is the price that the monopolistic firm charges in order to maximize its profit given by profit P*Q. Given the linear demand function, we know that the price would be given by setting the Marginal revenue 2000-2P = Marginal cost. Assume that the cost of producing Livehappy is negligible and approximated to 0. What is the maximum profit generated by the company during the first year?

Assume you are a single seller of mugs and each buyer’s willingness to pay is below. Assume you incur a cost of $5.00 per unit. (i.e., the marginal cost is constant). How many mugs would you need to sell if you intend to maximise profits, how many mugs would this seller supply to the market, and what price would you charge? Remember, the price has to be the same for each unit sold Buyer Willingness to pay ($) for one mug Bobby 18.00 Jake 16.00 Tara 9.00 Phillip 4.00
