What is the difference between a monopoly's marginal revenue curve and a perfect competitor's marginal revenue curve? Please explain the difference in these markets by drawing the graphs.
1. A firm faces the following inverse demand curve: P = 500 - 0.25Q Where: Q is the monthly production P is price, measured in dollars per unit. The firm also has a total cost (TC) function of: TC = 200Q. Assuming the firm maximizes profits, answer the following: a) Assuming the firm operates as a monopolist, calculate the following: price, quantity, and profit. Graph and show the equilibrium price and quantity. b) Assuming perfect competition, what are price, quantity and profit? Show on the graph from above.
What is the usual shape of a marginal revenue curve for a monopolist? Why? When a monopolist identifies its profit-maximizing quantity of output, how does it decide what price to charge? Is a monopolist allocatively efficient? Why or why not? ALCOA does not have the monopoly power it once had. How do you suppose their barriers to entry were weakened? For many years, the Justice Department has tried to break up large firms like IBM, Microsoft, and most recently Google, on the grounds that their large market share made them essentially monopolies. In a global market, where U.S. firms compete with firms from other countries, would this policy make the same sense as it might in a purely domestic context? If public utilities are a natural monopoly, what would be the danger in deregulating them? Why does regulatory capture reduce the persuasiveness of the case for regulating industries for the benefit of consumers? In the middle of the twentieth century, major U.S. cities had multiple…
2. Given the demand curve of the monopolist Q = 60 - 2P and the cost function of the monopolist TC = 50-4Q+ 0.5 Q^{2}, Then find: A. The inverse demand function, average revenue, the marginal revenue functions, marginal cost function? B. Find the level of output and price that maximizes the monopolist profit? C. The level of profit at equilibrium. D. Show graphically profit maximization level of output?

1. Consider a monopolist where the market demand curve for the produce is given by P = 520 2Q. This monopolist has marginal costs that can be expressed as MC = 100 + 2Q and total costs that can be expressed as TC = 100Q + Q2 + 50.a. Given the above information, what is this monopolists profit maximizing price and output if it charges a single price?b. Given the above information, calculate this single price monopolists profit.c. At the profit maximizing quantity, what is this monopolists average total cost of production (ATC)?
A monopolist can produce at constant average total and marginal cost of ATC = MC = $20. (Constant ATC = MC implies that there are no fixed costs.) The firm faces a market demand curve given by QD = 40 - P. The monopolist's marginal revenue curve is given by MR = 40 - 2QD. Graph this situation, then calculate the monopolist's profit-maximizing price-quantity and the monopolist's profits. What output level would be produced by a corresponding perfectly competitive industry? What would be the price level? Calculate the "deadweight losses" from monopolization of the industry. Show the DWL on the graph.

1 Suppose that a monopolist has a patent for widgets and the market demand curve Q(P) is:Q(P) = 60 – 2P,where P is the price in dollars and Q is quantity. a. Solve for the inverse demand P(Q) curve by solving the demand curve for P in terms of Q. b. Using your answer from (a), express the monopolist’s total revenue in terms of Q as TR(Q) = QP(Q). c. Calculate the monopolist’s marginal revenue MR(Q) by differentiating the total revenue you found in theprevious step: MR(Q) = dTR(Q) / dQ. PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK
Question 27 Consider a monopoly market in which the market demand curve is given by P = 240 – 2Q, the marginal revenue curve is MR = 240 – 4Q, the marginal cost curve is MC = 2Q, and there are zero fixed costs. Suppose the government intervenes and turns the market into a competitive market, and all the firms in the market have the same marginal cost curve as the monopolist, MC = 2Q, and zero fixed costs. How much is the resulting gain in total surplus? 300 800 400 600
