Suppose that you're working to calculate a monopolist's profit-maximizing uniform price in a market where the inverse demand function is P(y) = 52 - 3y and you've reached the point that you know the monopolist's profit maximization condition is 52-6y = 4 What is the profit-maximizing QUANTITY? y = 8 y = 14 y = 28 and you've reached the point that you know the monopolist's profit maximization condition is 52-6y = 4 What is the profit-maximizing QUANTITY? O y = 8 y = 14 y = 28 y = 9 If a monopolist can carry out perfect price discrimination, the outcome in the market will be: Pareto Efficient, as in Perfect Competition Inefficient, exactly as under Monopoly Uniform Pricing Between the Efficiency of Perfect Competition and the Inefficiency of Uniform pricing
Suppose a monopolist is characterized as follows: P= 1200-5Q C = 8600 + 28Q+Q² MC 28 + 2Q demand curve for the monopolist total cost function for the monopolist marginal cost function for the monopolist To maximize its profit, the monopolist should produce units of output.

The monopolist's profit is $ (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) Suppose the government imposes a specific tax of $150 per unit on the monopolist. To maximize profit, the monopolist should now produce units of output. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)

Consider the diagram below: a) If a firm is single –price monopolist, what price firm will charge and what is the profit maximizing output? Calculate the area of monopolist’s profit (in tk), consumer surplus (in tk) and deadweight loss (in tk) from the information of the diagram. b) If the firm would work as a perfectly price discriminating monopolist, what amount of output firm would have produced? How firm would have charged price? Calculate the area of consumer surplus (in tk), profit(in tk) and deadweight loss (in tk) from the information of the diagram. Don,t copy from anywhere. Answer must be correct.Do all answer.
You own a road resurfacing business called Dahyun Bricks services located in Seoul. You are the only reservicing business in South Korea. Therefore, you have a local monopoly. Your experience running the company for many years has taught you that market demand for your service can be described by the demand function: p = 20 - Q. The cost function is c =q². Therefore, marginal cost equals 2q. Quantity refersto square metre of road resurfacing. Note the Q denotes aggregate market demand and q denotes your production. Of course, if you are the only supplier than q = Q. a) Compute profit maximising price and output. Compute profits. b) The monopoly profit that you have been earning has attracted attention from another firm that will set up operations in South Koreaand compete for market share. You are concerned with losing market share and profit. So, you offer the potential entrant the following deal. Both firms agree to maximise industry profits (joint profits). The potential entrant…
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?
Suppose a monopolist faces a demand equation given by P=20-Q, and a marginal revenue equation given by MR = 20-2Q, and MC=AVC=ATC=$6. What is the deadweight loss associated with the monopolist? a) $8.5 b) $33.25 c) $24.5 d) $12.5
1) Suppose that a monopolist producing bicycles can divide the aggregate demand into two groups: The domestic market and the foreign market. The demand curve for the monopolist's product in the domestic market is yı=1200-10p¡ and the demand foreign market is y2=800-10p2. The monopolist's total cost function is given by C(y)= 50y where y=yi+y2. curve for the monopolist's product in the a) Assume that the monopolist does not practice price discrimination. Calculate his/her profit-maximizing price-quantity combination and the maximum profit. b) Assume that the monopolist practices third-degree price discrimination. Calculate his/her profit-maximizing price-quantity combination and the maximum profit in each market.
Suppose that the monopolist can produce with total cost: TC = 10Q. Assume that the monopolist sells its goods in two different markets separated by some distance. The demand curves in the first market and the second market are given by Q₁ = 120-4P₁ and Q₂ = 240 - 2P₂. Suppose that consumers can mail the product from cheaper location to a more expensive location at a mailing cost $50. What would be the monopolist profit? $5450 $6050 O $6450 $5050
Consider a monopolist operating on a market with a downward sloping demand curve. The monopolist has a constant marginal cost and no fixed cost. At the current level of production and at the current price level, the price elasticity of demand is equal to -0.8. Assume the monopolist wishes to maximise profits. Would we be able to say anything about whether the monopolist has chosen a price and quantity that maximise profits? Explain your answer by means of diagrams (maximum 150 words) 2. What is the price elasticity of supply in this market?
Suppose a monopolist's total cost function is given by c = 0.004q +30q + 2000, and the revenue function is r = q(1200 - 6q), where c is measured in dollars and q is measured in tonnes per week. a. Determine marginal cost when g = 50. b. Express profit (n) as a function of q. Determine the profit-maximising level of output and the corresponding maximum profit. Justify your answers. C.
Suppose a monopolist faces a market demand that is the first two columns in the table below. Also, in the short run, assume that Total Fixed Cost equals $100 and the monopolist has Total Variable Cost according to the table. Find Total Revenue for each price and quantity combination, and then Marginal Revenue as price falls and quantity increases. Fill in the rest of the costs in the table and find profit at each price and quantity combination as the difference between Total Revenue and Total Cost. If profit is less than zero that indicates a loss. What is the maximum profit you found in this table? At what quantity and price combination is profit maximized for this monopolist? Next, verify this result by using Marginal Analysis to find the profit maximizing price and quantity combination. For each quantity, ask yourself if Marginal Revenue exceeds Marginal Cost. If it does, then profits would be increased by producing that quantity. As you go down the table to higher quantities, stop…
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.
