The Poster Bed Company believes that its industry can best be classified as monopolistically competitive. An analysis of the demand for its canopy bed has resulted in the following estimated demand function for the bed: P = 1,265-9Q The cost analysis department has estimated the total cost function for the poster bed as TC = -15Q3 +5Q +24,000 Short-run profits are maximized when the level of output is The total profit at this price-output level is The point price elasticity of demand at the profit-maximizing level of output is The level of fixed costs the firm is experiencing on its bed production is What is the impact of a $5,000 increase in the level of fixed costs on the price charged, output produced, and profit generated? Price Charged Output Produced Profits Generated Increase No change Decrease O O and the price is $ O O

Find the total revenue (TR) for monopoly firm (refer to rectangle OABE) Find the total cost (TC) for monopoly firm (refer to rectangle ODCE) Find total profit (or loss) for monopoly firm (refer to rectangle ABDC) Note: Show the formula and calculation
The cost function for producing ethanol from municipal waste (wastehol) is 1000+10q2where q is in millions/gallons per year. The demand for wastehol is currently perfectly inelastic at 5 million gallons per year. Assume that producers of wastehol are perfectly competitive. California is deciding whether to convert all wastehol producers into a regulated wastehol utility. If wastehol is a regulated monopoly utility with the cost function above, what price would regulators set as the price of wastehol? Now assume that the wasteahol market has boomed and demand has grown to 20 (again million gallons per year). Now what is the regulated price of wastehol? You are the wastehol producer and are trying to decide whther to lobby for deregulating the wastehol industry. If wastehol were deregulated, if demand remains 20, what would the perfectly competitive price be? If you are a wastehol customer, you would prefer a deregulated industry if demand were 20? True/False?
There are two firms, Firm 1 and Firm 2. The two firms’ products are viewed as identical by most consumers. The relevant cost functions are C(Q1) = 10 + 4Q1 and C(Q2) = 12 + 16Q2, and the market demand curve for product is given by P = 50 – 4Q. Instructions: Use no decimals. Use the average cost to calculate monopoly profits. Do not round values if used to complete other calculations. Complete the following table.

Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion The market demand for a monopoly firm is estimated to be: Qd = 100,000 - 500P + 2M + 500PR where Qd is quantity demanded, P is price, M is income, and PR is the price of a related good. The manager has forecasted the values of M and PR will be $50,000 and $20, respectively, in 2016. The average variable cost function is estimated to be AVC = 520 - 0.03Q + 0.000001Q2 Total fixed cost in 2016 is expected to be $4 million. The profit-maximizing price for 2016 is $80. $100. $260. $520. $560.
Please diagram the revenue and profit situation (which would also include the cost curves) for a producer of a highly elastic (but not perfectly elastic) good of your choice (a restaurant, boutique clothing store, etc.). Under what circumstances would it make sense for them to raise their price? While profit maximization is the main goal for most firms (and one which you should be able to represent on a diagram), you may wish to consider alternative goals depending upon the business you have chosen.
Suppose a manager is faced with the following demand curve for a new software application in a monopoly market, Q = 200 - 50P and the short run total cost function is TC = 2Q + Q2 / 30 If the manager is able to maximize the firms' profit in this monopoly market, what is the total profit value?
Please answer the blank questions
If the inverse demand function is P=10-Q and total cost is C=2Q, what is the optimal fixed cost to be charged in a two part pricing ?
how do you solve for profit to get optimal level for both firms and optimal selling price?
Suppose Neu Train is the only high-speed railway between City A and City B. She operates with a cost function of C = 2,000 + 5Q2 - 500Q. Furthermore, an estimate shows that the inverse market demand for the high- speed railway between the two cities is P = 14,500 – 70Q. Calculate the profit-maximizing output level and the price of Neu Train.
