Enrodes is a monopoly provider of residential electricity in a region of northern Michigan. Total demand by its 4 million households is Qd = 1,200 - 1P, and Enrodes can produce electricity at a constant marginal cost of $4 per megawatt hour. Consumers in this region of Michigan have recently complained that Enrodes is charging too much for its services. In fact, a few consumers are so upset that they're trying to form a coalition to lobby the local government to regulate the price Enrodes charges. If all the consumers of this region joined the coalition against Enrodes, how much would each consumer be willing to spend to lobby the local government to regulate Enrodes's price? Instruction: Enter your response rounded to the nearest penny (two decimal places). True or false: The consumers are likely to be successful in their efforts. True False

Suppose Bang Bang is the only local swimming pool. She believes that there are 10 potential customers. Each of them has an identical demand function of QI = 250 – 0.02P, with QI as the unit of services of each customer. She operates with a constant variable cost of $500 per unit of service. If Bang Bang is a single price monopoly, calculate the price she should charge for her service. Show your calculations.

Consider the only electric company in a small town, which you can assume operates as a natural monopoly. The following graph shows the demand curve for electricity services per month, as well as the provider's marginal revenue (MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve. Suppose the government has elected not to impose regulations on the industry, and so the firm faces no regulatory constraints in maximizing profits. Complete the first row of the following table. Pricing Mechanism Short Run Long - Run Decision Quantity Price Profit (Subscriptions) (Dollars per subscription) Profit Maximization Marginal - Cost Pricing Average - Cost Pricing Suppose now that the government decides to require the monopolist to set its price equal to marginal cost.

Assume a single-price monopolist has an inverse market demand curve given by P(Q)=300-0.5Q, and has a cost curve: C(Q)=125+20Q+0.5Q2. We already know that Monopolist will provide 140 units, Economic profit is 19475, and Economic Rent is 190. If the impact of a 35% ad valorem tax imposed on the consumers in the market. Then: Q1: What is the equilibrium quantity will be sold in the after-tax equilibrium? Q2: What are the economic rents of the monopolist?
Consider the relationship between monopoly pricing and the price elasticity of demand.
A company operates two plants which manufacture the same item and whose total cost functions are C₁ = 5.5 +0.01(9₁)² and C₂ M 8.2 +0.08(92)². where q, and q2 are the quantities produced by each plant. The company is a monopoly. The total quantity demanded, q = 91 +92. is related to the price, p, by p= 40 -0.08q. How much should each plant produce in order to maximize the company's profit?¹ 91 = 92 = i MA
