At a monopolist’s profit-maximizing level of output, what is the Total Revenue? At a monopolist’s profit-maximizing level of output, what is the Total Profit? At the socially optimal level of output, what is the Total Revenue? At the socially optimal level of output, what is the Total Profit?
For the Monopolist, Demand is given by, P = 120 - 5Q Total Cost = 480 +20Q – Qty? For the Monopolist, Demand is given by, P = 120 - 5Q Total Cost = 480 +20Q – price? For the Monopolist, Demand is given by, P = 120 - 5Q Total Cost = 480 +20Q – profit? Q=15, Price=45, Profit=25 Q=10, Price=70, Profit=40 Q=5, Price=95, Profit=40 Q=20, Price=20, Profit=30
Assume a monopolist faces the following inverse curve: Q = Ap-2. The monop- olist produces at the constant marginal cost m a. Derive an expression for the mark-up the monopolist will charge. b. Derive an expression for the quantity the monopolist will produce. 21 510
Consider a monopoly with the following marginal cost and demand curves: MC=2Q+200,p=2,600−2Q d. Do the welfare analysis of the equilibrium resulting from the monopolist’s profit-maximization. That is, calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss (if it exists). e. Suppose there is a positive externality associated with the consumption of the good provided by this monopolist. Does the market structure (monopoly) exacerbate or alleviate the inefficiency (deadweight loss) resulting from such externality? Use math or a graph to support your answer. f. Suppose instead that there is a negative externality associated with the production of the good provided by this monopolist. Each unit produced generates a marginal external cost of x dollars. For which value of x does the under-provision inherent to the monopoly completely offset the inefficiency associated with such externality?
A monopolist facing a demand p=1000 - 10Q has costs TC(Q) = 5Q^2 + 100Q. (a) What is the monopolist’s profit maximizing quantity and price? What is the induced DWL? (b) Suppose, on top of the costs above, the firm now also pays; (i) A flat fee of 1000 dollars, (ii) half of the profits, (iii) 150 dollars per unit sold, (iv) half of the revenue. Separately for each of these 4 cases, calculate the profit maximizing price and quantity for the monopolist with these new augmented costs. Does any of these scenarios alter the DWL associated with the monopoly, compared to (a)? (c) Forget about (a) and (b), and consider a monopoly in general. Show on a single graph with general costs (ATC and MC graphs) and a general demand, what quantity monopoly should produce in order to maximize ; (i) Total Revenue, or (ii) the number of units sold, under the condition that the firm does not make losses

A monopolist w11ishes to maximize total revenue. She produces two outputs, (x1, x2) and faces the following demands for her products, X1 = 20 – 2p1, and X2 = 20 – 4p2 Where p1 and p2 are, respectively, the prices of the two goods. To produce one unit of x1 the monopolist must use one unit of land and one unit of capital. And, to produce one unit of x2 requires two units of land and one unit of capital. The firm has available 10 units of land and 6 units of capital. Specify the firm’s short-run maximization problem. Set up the Kuhn-Tucker conditions for maximization (you do not need to solve). Assume that the solution is x*1 = 5 1/3 (i.e. 16/3) and x*2 = 2/3. Explain which constraints are binding and whether the Lagrange multipliers are positive or zero and what they mean.
A monopolist produces a certain good. The cost c for producing this good is given by c = 20q, whereq is the quantity produced. The (inverse) demand function for this product is given by p = 30 − 0.01q,where p is the price per unit of the product. We assume that the full produced quantity is sold. Thegovernment taxes the sales of the good and would like to maximize the received tax T .Suppose in first instance that the government introduces a tax of 4 monetary units per unit of theproduct sold. We determine how much the government then receives.
Suppose a monopolist sells a product to faculty members and students on the campus. If the firm sets a single price, the monopolist produces 5000 units and sell them at the price of $3 per unit. At this price, the price elasticity of demand for faculty member is -2.5. And the price elasticity of demand for students is -1.5. The monopolist is considering whether she should set different prices for the faculty members and students and asks for your advice. The monopolist is thinking about charging faculty members a 10% higher price. The quantity demanded by the faculty members would fall by %. The monopolist is thinking about charging students a 10% higher price. The quantity demanded by the students would fall by %. Who should the monopolist charge more? mention faculty and students and how much
