Momocita is the only supplier of momos in the market. It is a profit maximizing, single-price monopolist with a constant Marginal Cost of $5, no fixed cost and faces a typical downward sloping demand curve. It currently charges a price of $14.5 for a plate of momos. If it increases its price to $15 a plate, which of the statements below is TRUE? Revenues will increase, costs increase and profits increase. Revenues will decrease, costs increase and profits decrease. Revenues will increase, costs increase and profits decrease. Revenues will increase, costs decrease and profits increase. Revenues will decrease, costs decrease and profits decrease. Revenues will increase, costs decrease and profits decrease.
As above, the market for eggplants is known to be monopolistic. The demand curve for eggplants is given as P-1,300-40, where P denotes price and Q quantity demanded. The monopolist's cost function is given as C=10,000+1000. Compared to a firm that charged marginal-cost-prices, what is the monopolist's deadweight loss? Please don't enter decimals or commas!
Suppose the inverse demand for a monopolist’s product is given by P = 70-0.5Q. The monopolistcan produce output in two plants. The marginal coat of producing in plant 1 is MC1 = 3Q1 and themarginal cost of producing in plant 2 is MC2 = Q2. How much output should be produce in eachplat to maximize profit? And what price should be charged?Compare to perfect competition, monopolist charged higher price and supply less quantity withlong run firm equilibrium. Discuss using suitable graph.Explain the deadweight loss of monopolization
The market demand curve for a pair of Cournot duopolists is given as P= 34 - 2Q, where Q =Qq+ Q2 The constant per unit marginal cost is 16 for each duopolist.

. Profit maximization and loss minimization BYOB is a monopolist in beer production and distribution in the imaginary economy of Hopsville. Suppose that BYOB cannot price discriminate; that is, it sells its beer at the same price per can to all customers. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and demand (D) for beer in this market. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for BYOB. If BYOB is making a profit, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. On the other hand, if BYOB is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade in the area representing its loss. Suppose that BYOB charges $2.50 per can. Your friend Clancy says that since BYOB is a monopoly with market power, it should charge a higher price of $3.00 per can because this will increase BYOB’s profit. Complete the…
The monopolist is productively-efficient, because, like the perfect competitor, it operates at minimum ATC is the long-run. True False
Market Demand is given in the table below. By now, I should not have to say, only integer quantities are allowed when we have discrete data like this.

Complete the final two columns to verify that the same conclusions are reached using theMR = MC rule.e. Compare both the results and comment on the business and its position
Profit maximization and loss minimization BYOB is a monopolist in beer production and distribution in the imaginary economy of Hopsville. Suppose that BYOB cannot price discriminate; that is, it sells its beer at the same price per can to all customers. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MCMC), marginal revenue (MRMR), average total cost (ATCATC), and demand (DD) for beer in this market. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for BYOB. If BYOB is making a profit, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. On the other hand, if BYOB is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade in the area representing its loss. (Graph 1) Suppose that BYOB charges $2.00 per can. Your friend Felix says that since BYOB is a monopoly with market power, it should charge a higher price of $2.25 per can because this will increase BYOB's profit.…
A profit-maximizing monopolist faces demand p, = 150 – q. . And suppose its marginal cost is q, what price should it charge if it charges one price for all consumers? What will be DWL, consumer surplus and producer surplus in that case? What prices should it charge to high demand and low demand consumers if it price discriminates according to quantity ? (Suppose there are two groups). What will be DWL, consumer surplus and producer surplus in that case?
The region of demand in which the monopolist will choose a price-output combination will be: elastic because as price declines and output increases, total revenue will decrease. O inelastic because as price declines and output increases, total revenue will decrease. Oelastic because as price declines and output increases, total revenue will increase. inelastic because as price declines and output increases, total revenue will increase.
