A monopolist faces the demand curve Q=11-P, where P is measured in dollars per unit and Q in thousands of units. The monopolist has a constant average total cost of $6 per unit. Fill in the blanks. In this market, what is the deadweight loss?
Consider a monopolist facing two consumers with the following two inverse demand functions: P=200-4Q1 and P=122- 6Q2. Assume that fixed costs are zero and that the marginal cost is equal to $8.a) Suppose the monopolist can differentiate between the two consumers. The monopolist decides to use a twoparttariff that permits both consumers to stay in the market. Solve for each consumer’s demand, fixed fee andmonopolist profits. b) Assume the monopolist cannot differentiate between the two consumers and hence cannot apply a two-parttariff. He decides to serve both consumers. Solve for the equilibrium aggregate demand and price in themarket, demand of each consumer and the monopolist profit.
A monopolist has a demand curve that is described as P = 20 – 2Q and a constant marginal cost that is equal to $10. What is the marginal revenue of this monopolist?
Eyeglasslux is a single-price monopolist in the eye-glass frame market. It faces a Market demand given by Q=421-2P. Its Total Cost function is TC=5,844+23Q and Marginal Cost is MC=23. If the government imposes a price ceiling of $35, what is the monopolist's PROFITS in the SHORT-run? Enter a number only, drop the $ sign.
The demand for good X is given by x = 691-7 p. The good is sold by a monopolist with cost function C(x) = x^2/5 and whose aim is to maximize profit. The firm charges all customers the same price. Derive the per - unit tax which maximizes the government's (tax) revenue, call it t*. Then enter below the sale tax which results in firm selling the same quantity as the amount it sells under t *
Please answer questions 4 through 7.
A monopolist has a cost function given by C(y)=y2 and faces a demand curve given by P(y) = 120-y. If you impose a lump sum tax of £100 on this monopolist, what will be the impact on output? Explain your calculations and the intuition behind your result.
The following graph gives the demand (D) curve for water services in the fictional town of Streamship Springs. The graph also shows the marginal revenue (MR) curve, the marginal cost (MC) curve, and the average total cost (ATC) curve for the local water company, a natural monopolist. On the following graph, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for this natural monopolist. PRICE (Dollars per hundred cubic feet) 40 36 32 28 24 20 0 0 1 2 3 5 6 7 8 QUANTITY (Hundreds of cubic feet) MR 4 True ATC MC O False 9 10 D The water company is experiencing economies of scale. Which of the following statements are true about this natural monopoly? Check all that apply. + Monopoly Outcome The water company must own a scarce resource. It is more efficient on the cost side for one producer to exist in this market rather than a large number of producers. In order for a monopoly to exist in this case, the government must have intervened and created it.…
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. Calculate the profit maximising output produced and price charged in each country by the…

4) A monopolist faces a market inverse demand function: P = 250 – 5Q and marginal cost function: ATC = MC = 10. Answer the following. If the monopolist employs a single price strategy, what is the optimal quantity produced and price charged. What is the market up and contribution margin from the strategy in part a if Ed = -1.0833. If other firms trying to enter this market had slightly higher cost structures, what would be a good price & quantity mix to limit entry of competition and why (no math needed). If the monopolist could create a bundled good instead of the strategy in part a, what price would it charge and how many units would be sold in the bundle. What are the profits from part a & part d? Which pricing strategy is preferred. EC: Briefly explain why a firm that offers a buy 2 get the 3rd free deal, does not just offer that same product at a 33.33% discount of the normal stated price. Need help with number 2.
Consider a discriminating monopolist that sells a product in two isolated geographical areas. The monopolist faces the following demand functions P1 = 100 - Q1 and P2 = 80 - Q2 and the cost function is C = 6(Q1 + Q2) The authorities in market 1 impose a tax of t per unit sold in market 1. How much tax revenue do the authorities in market 1 get?
