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 - 0.4q, and the total cost function is TC = 10q + 130. Answer the following questions: 4. the quantities (q1 & q2) the firm is going to sell after applying 2nd price discrimination are: O q1=300 and q2 =150 O q1=75 and q2 =150 O q1=150 and q2 =300 O qt=150 and q2 =75 5. the prices (P1 & P2) the firm is going to charge after applying 2nd 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
3. Suppose the minimum efficient scale of an industry is at 100 units of output. At this point, average cost equals 50. Inverse demand for this industry is: P(Q) = A - Q a) What range of values should A take on in order for this industry to exhibit the structure of a natural monopoly? b) At what value of A the industry in part (b) stops being a natural monopoly?

Question 2
Monsanto holds significant regional monopoly power-in some regions they are a true monopoly being the only seller of agriculture seeds. If the elasticities of demand, JEDI, for soybean seeds is 3.5, and 3 for corn, then the profit-maximizing price (relative to marginal cost) for soybeans is times marginal cost, and the price is times marginal cost for corn. Round to one decimal if needed. A Moving to another question will save this response. « >
A price-discriminating monopoly O is illegal cannot offer discounts sells a larger quantity than it would if it were a single-price monopoly
The supply curve for a monopoly is: O the portion of the marginal cost curve that lies above the average fixed cost curve. the portion of the marginal cost curve that lies above the average variable cost curve. Ononexistent. O the portion of the marginal cost curve that lies above the average total cost curve.
Consider a monopoly firm in the short run for which marginal revenue equals rising marginal cost at 150 units of output. At this output, the firm's total cost is $2000, total fixed cost is $800, marginal revenue is $3, and elasticity of demand is 2. Which of the following statements is correct about this firm? The firm should expand production beyond 150 units. O The firm is making a loss greater than total fixed cost and should shut down. The firm is making a profit and should continue to produce 150 units. The firm is making a loss smaller than total fixed cost and should continue to produce 150 units.
