Scenario 15-3 A monopoly firm maximizes its profit by producing Q = 500 units of output. At that level of output, its marginal revenue is $30, its average revenue is $60, and its average total cost is $34. Refer to Scenario 15-3. At Q=500, the firm's total revenue is a. $13,000. b. $15,000. c. $17,000. d. $30,000. Conteur
1. Asssume the following equations describe the conditions for an unregulated monopoly: Qd = q = 25,000 -100P or P = 250-0.01q TC = 480,000 + 70q + 0.005q2 where Qd is the quantity demanded for the firm, P is the commodity's price in dollars, TC is total cost in dollars, and q is the quantity of output produced. Based upon the above equations, answer the following questions: a. What is the firm's profit maximizing quantity of output? b. What price will the firm charge for the commodity c. What does the firm's total economic profit equal? d. What is the amount of deadweight loss that exists given the monopoly is unregulated? Assume the government is now going to regulate this monopoly, and the regulators want to guarentee the monopolist produces the socially optimal quantity of output. e. What is the socially optimal quantity of output? f. What price would regulators establish to guarantee the monopolist produces the socially optimal quantity of output? g. What does the firm's…
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
Which of the following is true at the profit-maximizing output for both a perfectly competitive firm and a monopoly? 1 price equals marginal cost 2 price is greater than marginal cost 3 marginal revenue equals marginal cost 4 marginal revenue is less than marginal cost
You are the owner of a monopoly firm. The demand curve that you face is: 100 0. 5Q - Your Total Cost and Marginal Cost are: 1035 +10Q +0. 5Q2 10 +Q TC |3| MC The government decides to regulate your firm and imposes the Efficient Price.

Homework Unanswered A monopoly is producing where marginal cost is $10,000 and marginal revenue is $15,000 in an industry where demand is above the average cost. Place the following actions in order to describe the steps the monopoly would take to maximize its profits. Drag and drop options into correct order and submit. For keyboard navigation... SHOW MORE III = E The firm realizes that as it increase production, total revenue will go up by more than cost increases. III = ||| The quantity produced will be larger than at the beginning and the price will be lower. = The monopoly will produce more units up to the point where marginal cost equals marginal revenue. The monopoly will make positive economic profits at the new price and quantity. As they increase quantity price is determined by the demand curve. There will be a surplus if the price is too high. Unanswered Submit
Suppose a monopoly is producing at its profit-maximising (loss-minimizing) quantity, and the price corresponding to this quantity is below average total cost but above average variable cost. The monopoly will shut down in the short run but return to production in the long run shut down in the short run and exit the market in the long run keep producing both in the short run and in the long run keep producing in the short run but exit the market in the long run None of the above.
Refer to the accompanying figure to answer the following questions.27. The revenue received by the profit-maximizing monopolist is ________.28. The deadweight loss associated with this profit-maximizing monopoly is equal to ________.29. The consumer surplus associated with the profit-maximizing monopoly is equal to ________.30. The consumer surplus that is transferred to the monopolist as a result of the monopolist takingover the market is ________. ( Please solve ASAP all the subparts 27 to 30 .

Use the following demand schedule for a pure monopolist to calculate total revenue and marginal revenue at each quantity. Plot the monopolist’s demand curve and marginal-revenue curve, and explain the relationships between them. Explain why the marginal revenue of the fourth unit of output is $3.50, even though its price is $5. What generalization can you make as to the relationship between the monopolist’s demand and its marginal revenue? Suppose the marginal cost of successive units of output was zero. What output would the single-price monopolist produce, and what price would it charge?
Below is a representation of the demand curve for diamonds. Assume DeBeers is operating as a monopoly. 1. As a monopolist, what is the total effect of a price change from $2,400 to $1,600 on revenue? Break this change into an increase and a decrease. If you were to do exercise 1 in for every marginal change in price, you would find the marginal revenue curve. The marginal revenue diagram has been provided for the next exercises, along with the marginal costs for DeBeers.
