Question is in attached image. Thank you! Only answer D,E,F
A monopolist faces inverse market demand of P = 140 – and has Total Cost given by TC(Q) = 2Q? + 10Q + 200. %3D Find this monopolist's profit maximizing output level. Find this monopolist's profit maximizing price. How much profit is this monopolist earning?
A monopolist faces a market demand curve given by Q(p) = 70 – p. Its total costs are described by TC(Q) = 3ố0 Q³ – 5Q + 250. 1 a) Derive the monopoly price, quantity, and profits. b) Calculate Lerner Index under the monopoly equilibrium. c) Now suppose the government sets the maximum price at $40. What output level and price level will the monopolist choose to maximize profits? What is the deadweight loss? d) Suppose the government sets the maximum price at $30. What output level and price level will the monopolist choose to maximize profits? What is the deadweight loss?
Why does the monopolist always produce only until that level of output where the own-price elasticity of demand is equal to unity ? Elucidate this either graphically or algebraically
Problem 08-09 A monopolist's inverse demand function is estimated as P = 150 – 3Q. The company produces output at two facilities; the marginal cost of producing at facility 1 is MC1(Q1) = 6Q1, and the marginal cost of producing at facility 2 is MC2(Q2) = 2Q2. a. Provide the equation for the monopolist's marginal revenue function. (Hint: Recall that Q + Q2 = Q.) MR(Q): Q2 b. Determine the profit-maximizing level of output for each facility. Output for facility 1: Output for facility 2: c. Determine the profit-maximizing price. %24

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.
Suppose a monopoly market has a demand function in whichquantity demanded depends not only on market price (P) butalso on the amount of advertising the firm does (A, measuredin dollars). The specific form of this function isQ =(20 - P2) (1 + 0.1A - 0.01A2).The monopolistic firm’s cost function is given byC = 10Q + 15 + A.a. Suppose there is no advertising (A = 0). What outputwill the profit-maximizing firm choose? What market price will this yield? What will be the monopoly’sprofits?b. Now let the firm also choose its optimal level of advertising expenditure. In this situation, what output levelwill be chosen? What price will this yield? What will thelevel of advertising be? What are the firm’s profits in thiscase? Hint: This can be worked out most easily by assuming the monopoly chooses the profit-maximizing pricerather than quantity.
There is a monopolist,ConcreteMex,in the concretemarketin Mexico. The demand function is QD= 100–50p. The marginal cost of production isc=0.4. (referencing) Question 1.3 ConcreteMex claimed the high price is due to high transportation costs and persuaded the government to help cut down the costs. As a result, for every unit of concrete sold, the government subsidizes ConcreteMex 0.2dollars. What are the new profit-maximizing price and production levels for ConcreteMex? Under the subsidy policy and the new price in Question 1.3, calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss. You do not need to consider government spending for the deadweight loss.
