III. A monopolist faces the demand curve Q = 500 - P, where Q is the output of the firm and Pis the price per unit of output. The monopolist has FC = 100. The firm's MC is 10. 1. Specify the firm's revenue and profit function as a function of output. 2. Solve for the profit maximizing price and output.
option b
Suppose a monopolist faces a market demand curve given by P =50 -Q. Marginal cost is initially equal tozero and constant.a. Calculate the profit maximizing price and quantity. Use the Lerner index to calculate the price elasticity ofdemand at this point. What is the amount of deadweight loss associated with this monopoly?

How can a monopolist maximize its profits? a.) Produce maximum output where marginal cost and price are equal. b.) Finding the output where MR = MC and producing and charging the price corresponding to that output level on the demand curve. c.) Setting the price at the demand curve's highest point and output where MR = MC. d.) Setting the price level where marginal cost is minimized.

Monopoly Market MC - Marginal Cost MR - Marginal Revenue D - Demand ATC - Average Total Cost Refer to the figure above. If this monopolist is producing the profit-maximizing quantity and selling it at the profit-maximizing price, the firm's profit will be: $5 $20 $40 $60 2.5 points

Exercise 3.3. Suppose a profit-maximizing monopolist is producing 800 units of output and is charging a price of $40 per unit. a. If the elasticity of demand for the product is -2, find the marginal cost of the last unit produced. b. What is the firm's percentage markup of price over marginal cost? c. Suppose that the average cost of the last unit produced is $15 and the firm's fixed cost is $2000. Find the firm's profit.
For a monopolist to produce one more unit of output, Select one: a. the price must be equal to the marginal cost b. the difference of total revenue gained and total revenue lost must be greater than zero c. the price must be equal to the average variable cost. d. demand must be in the in inelastic range of the demand curve e. the difference of the price and marginal revenue must be equal to zero
A monopolist faces a demand curve, Q=100-2P and has a constant marginal cost of 10. It has no fixed costs. a. If the monopolist can only charge a single price, it should charge P*= v and produce Q*= v units. b. If the monopolist can charge a separate price for any units sold beyond Q*, then the price of these additional units will lead to additional profit if it is any price in the range of v.A monopolist that charges a separate price for additional units is practicing v price discrimination. c. Now suppose that the monopolist can perfectly price discriminate. What quantity will it produce? d. In terms of social welfare, total surplus will be highest in the pricing scheme described in part v and lowest in the pricing scheme described in part e. In terms of profitability, profit will be highest in the pricing scheme described in part v and lowest in the priceing scheme described in part
