Company XYZ has a monopoly in its market for one of its' products and it serves 3 regional markets with regional demand functions given by. Market 1: Q1 = 9 - (0.05) P1 • Market 2: Q2 = 10 - (0.1) P2 • Market 3: Q3 = 16 - (0.2) P3 The firm must make more than 10 units: Q > 10. The firm's cost function is C-490-50Q+2.5 Q2. The marginal cost is the same across all markets. Use Excel to set up this problem and: a) Identify the profit-maximizing output values for each market. b) Identify the surplus for each market and profit for the entire market. c) The output, price, and profit if the firm were not to differentiate across the markets?

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.
For a monopoly, the demand and cost functions are: Demand: Q = 100 - 0.20P Cost: TC = 10 + 60Q Solve for the profit-maximizing quantity (Q).
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?
Suppose that you are a manager of a monopoly firm with the marginal revenue of R550 million and a marginal cost of R120 million. Your firm should...
Assume a single-price monopolist has an inverse market demand curve given by P(Q)=300-0.5Q, and has a cost curve: C(Q)=125+20Q+0.5Q2. We already know that Monopolist will provide 140 units, Economic profit is 19475, and Economic Rent is 190. If the impact of a 35% ad valorem tax imposed on the consumers in the market. Then: Q1: What is the equilibrium quantity will be sold in the after-tax equilibrium? Q2: What are the economic rents of the monopolist?
A company operates two plants which manufacture the same item and whose total cost functions are C₁ = 5.5 +0.01(9₁)² and C₂ M 8.2 +0.08(92)². where q, and q2 are the quantities produced by each plant. The company is a monopoly. The total quantity demanded, q = 91 +92. is related to the price, p, by p= 40 -0.08q. How much should each plant produce in order to maximize the company's profit?¹ 91 = 92 = i MA
In first-degree price discrimination, a monopolist manipulates market price by altering the quantity of product supplied to that market. Select one: True False A natural monopoly arises when the firm's technology has economies of scale small enough for it to supply some of the markets at a lower average total production cost than is possible with more than ane firm in the market. Select one: True False If a firm's production function is defined as, y=f(x;,X2Xa), the firm's profit is; II(x,,x, ,x,) = p(y)-w,x, - w,x, - w,x. Select one: True False
The demand curve faced by a monopoly firm is given by the function P = 58500- 8.9Q What is the absolute value of the slope of its marginal revenue curve? Note: the absolute value refers to the value of a number after ignoring its sign. For example, the absolute value of -100 is 100. Answer
Firm X is going to apply a 2nd degree price discrimination. They plan to charge P1 for the first units and P2 for the subsequent units. The inverse market demand curve is P=100 – 2q, and the total cost function is TC = 10q + 100. Answer the following questions: %3D - 5. the prices (P1 & P2) the firm is going to charge after applying 2nd degree price discrimination are: O P1=70 and P2=40 O P1=40 and P2=70 O P1=20 and P2-40 O P1=60 and P2-30
A company operates two plants which manufacture the same item and whose total cost functions are C₁ = 5.8 +0.03(91)² and C₂ = 7.3 + 0.04(92)², where 9₁ and 92 are the quantities produced by each plant. The company is a monopoly. The total quantity demanded, q = 91 +92, is related to the price, p, by P = 400.04q. How much should each plant produce in order to maximize the company's profit?¹ 91 = 92 = i ! !
