A monopolist sells its product in two di§erent countries. The demand in country 1 is Q1 = 50-0.5P1, whereas the demand in country 2 is Q2 = 25-0.25P2. The firm's cost function is C(Q)=10+0.5Q2, where Q = Q1 + Q2.a) Calculate the amount of the product that the profit maximizing monopolist should sell in each country. Q1*=?, Q2*=?b) The determinantal test suggests that the firm's profit function (which one is correct) is locally concave around the critical point, but not elsewhere is globally concave is locally convex around the critical point, but not elsewhere is globally convex has a saddle point at the critical point
Barbara is a producer in a monopoly industry. Her demand curve and total cost curve are given by Q = 160 - 4P and TC = 4Q. Barbara will produce ✓ units. Barbara will charge a price of Barbara will make a profit of Suppose now the government imposes a tax of 4 dollars on each unit sold. With the tax: Barbara will produce ✓ units. Barbara will receive a price per unit of higher). Barbara will make a profit of In addition to the tax, suppose the government imposes a business levy (a fixed cost) of $500. With this levy: Barbara will produce Barbara will charge a price of Barbara will make a profit of ✓. Note: we're looking for the Barbara receives, not the price consumers pay (which will be ✓ units. ✓. Note: we're looking for the Barbara receives, not the price consumers pay (which will be higher).
The demand function for a monopolist is given by x =100 – 4p, where x is the number of units of product produced and sold and p is the price per unit. Find : (1) total revenue function (ii) average revenue function (ii) marginal revenue func- tion and (iv) price and quantity at which MR = 0. 7. A firm knows that the demand function for one of its products is linear. It also knows that it can sell 1000 units when the price is Rs.4 per unit and it can sell 1500 units when the price is Rs.2 per unit. Determine : (i) the demand function (ii) the total revenue function (iii) the average revenue function (iv) the marginal revenue function. 6.
Suppose a monopolist faces a demand equation given by P=20-Q, and a marginal revenue equation given by MR = 20-2Q, and MC=AVC=ATC=$6. What is the deadweight loss associated with the monopolist? a) $8.5 b) $33.25 c) $24.5 d) $12.5
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion A monopolist has a demand curve given by P = 88 − Q and a total cost curve given by TC = 34 + Q2. The associated marginal cost curve is MC = 2Q. Suppose the monopolist also has access to a foreign market in which he can sell whatever quantity he chooses at a constant price of 60. How much will he sell in the foreign market? What will his new quantity and price be in the original market?
There is a monopolist,ConcreteMex,in the concretemarketin Mexico. The demand function is QD= 100–50p. The marginal cost of production isc=0.4. (referencing) Question 1.3 ConcreteMex claimed the high price is due to high transportation costs and persuaded the government to help cut down the costs. As a result, for every unit of concrete sold, the government subsidizes ConcreteMex 0.2dollars. What are the new profit-maximizing price and production levels for ConcreteMex? Under the subsidy policy and the new price in Question 1.3, calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss. You do not need to consider government spending for the deadweight loss.
Suppose a monopolist's total cost function is given by c = 0.004q +30q + 2000, and the revenue function is r = q(1200 - 6q), where c is measured in dollars and q is measured in tonnes per week. a. Determine marginal cost when g = 50. b. Express profit (n) as a function of q. Determine the profit-maximising level of output and the corresponding maximum profit. Justify your answers. C.
Consider an incumbent/monopolist with the following demand and marginal cost: P=300–Q; MC=$50. a. What is the profit maximizing price and output for the monopolist? What is the monopolist’s profit? b. Suppose there is a potential entrant, but the entrant has a cost disadvantage. The entrant’s MC = $75. Solve for the residual demand curve for the potential entrant (the entrant assumes that the monopolist will not change their total quantity from part a). c. What is the entrant’s output, price, and profit? What is the monopolist’s profit? d. What is the limit price that the monopolist could charge to deter entry? e. Is the threat/promise of the monopolist to charge the limit price a credible threat, or is the monopolist better off accommodating entry? Explain briefly.
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
All 20 consumers are alike and each has a demand curve for a monopolist's product of p=15 -3q. The cost of production C(Q) =2Q. Let the monopolist charge a price of $PM for qM unit purchased. Find the menu prices that maximize profits? (The buyer pays menu price PM for quantity qM) What is the maximum profit the monopolist can earn in this market? (pi)?

On the market of good Y there are 50 identical consumers. Each consumer has a demand function q=300-2pGood Y is produced by a monopolist, which is operating with a constant marginal cost of 50 and a fixed cost of 2000. Suppose the monopolist implements a two-part tariff pricing strategy. Calculate the maximum profit
