Suppose that a firm with market power can perfectly price-discriminate and faces the demand function q = 400 – 4P. The firm's total production costs are given by MC(q) = 2q + 0.12q. Suppose that under perfect price-discrimination, the firm produces 20.98 units, and its total surplus is $1,233.44. Identify consumer surplus, producer surplus, and the deadweight loss in this market scenario. Give your answers to two decimal places. consumer surplus: $ producer surplus: $ deadweight loss: $
The market demand for a good is P = 90 - Q. The good can be produced at a constant cost of $10. How much deadweight loss is created if the market is served by a monopolist as opposed to a competitive market?Enter as a value.
A monopolist sets the price as a function of the product produced. For every Q of products produced, the selling price is set at (100 – 4Q) $/unit. Fixed costs are $50 and variable costs are set at $2/unit. Assume that all products produced can be sold. If the local government imposes a tax of $2/unit sold, should the company increase or decrease its production? Explain!
Let a firm have a cost function C = 100 +5Q2. (a) If the firm can sell as much product as it wants at a price P = 100, how much will it produce and what will her profit be? (b) If the firm is a monopoly and faces a demand function P = 200 – 5Q. Determine the firm's output, price, and profit. (c) At what level of output is the monopolist's revenue maximized and what is the profit in this production?
Now suppose that the monopolist chooses q to maximise its profit. The number of units that the monopolist would sell is __? The monopolist’s revenue at this profit maximising quantity would be__? The absolute value of the price elasticity of demand at this profit maximising quantity would be__?
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.
Consider a monopolist producer. The demand curve, and total cost curve are given below: Q = = 180 - 2P TC = 5Q Suppose that a tax of $5 for each unit produced is imposed by the government. The monopolist's profit level after the imposition of the unit tax is
Now suppose that the monopolist chooses q to maximise its profit. The consumer surplus at this profit maximising quantity would be?
The Buy n Large Corporation (BnL) is a monopolist in a market with the demand function:Qd = 320 − 4pBnL’s marginal cost function is:MC = 20/Q + 4and its average total cost function is:ATC = 240/Q + 20 + Q/8 (d) Suppose the government regulates BnL, so that they are forced to lower their price until social welfareis maximized. Determine the regulated price and quantity.(e) Draw a graph showing the demand curve, marginal revenue curve, and marginal cost curve. Label allaxes and curves. Mark out all intercepts, the profit-maximizing price and quantity, and the regulatedprice and quantity.(f) Determine the deadweight loss caused by BnL’s market power. Use your graph to help accomplish this
A monopolist faces the demand function P= 10 - Qand the total cost function TC = %3D 2Q. Showing all your workings, calculate the maximum profit earned by the monopolist from using a two-part tariff.
There is a monopoly firm that faces the demand curve: P= 100(1-.01Q) and has a constant marginal cost of production equal to $20. Find the equilibrium price and output of this firm.
A monopolist faces a market demand curve given by: Q = 80 - pa) Assume that the monopolist has a cost structure where total costs are described by: C(Q) = 0.25Q2 - 5Q + 1000.What price-quantity combination will a profit maximising monopolist choose? What will profits be? b) What output level would be socially optimal? What is the price at this output level, if all units are sold at the same price? What is the profit? What would the social welfare gain be from this output level compared to the outcome in (a)?c) If government regulation forces the firm to set its price equal to its average cost of production, what will the output level be? What is the price at this output level, if all units are sold at the same price? What is the profit? What would the social welfare gain or loss be from this output level compared to the outcomes in (a) and (b)?
