Im stuck with parts b and c bc I’m not sure if I found the correct values in part A. Could I have some help
Assume a monopolist with downward-sloping demand and marginal revenue (MR) curves. The monopolist operates with standard marginal cost (MC) and average total cost (ATC) curves. How does a monopolist determine the profit-maximizing output level and the corresponding profit-maximizing price? A. The output level occurs where MR-MC and price is determined from the demand curve at this output level OB. The output level occurs where Demand = MC and price is determined from the marginal revenue curve at this output level. OC. Both the output level and price are found where MR = MC. OD. Both the output level and price are found where Demand = MC.
Once a monopolist has determined its profit-maximizing (equilibrium) quantity of output, QM, which condition does it use to set the price? Question 9Answer a. None of the other options are correct b. Price = Demand at QM c. Price = Average Cost at QM d. Price = Marginal Cost at QM
Which one of the following is the best description of a monopolist? a.a firm that is the sole producer of a product for which there are no good substitutes in a market with high barriers to entry b.a firm that is the sole producer of a narrowly defined product class, such as yellow, grade-A butter produced in Wisconsin c.a firm that is large relative to its competitors d.a firm that produces a single product

Figure monopolist, to answer questions a-c. a. indicate the profit maximizing price and output level and label them P 1 and Q 1. b. Shade in the area that represents the firm's economic profit (or loss). c. If this firm wished to discourage entry by other firms it could produce the output level at which it earns only a zero economic profit. Indicate the price and output level associated with a zero economic profit and label them P 2 and Q 2.
A monopoly sellsits good in the United States, where the elasticity of demand is -2.5, and in Japan, where the elasticity of demand is -5.4. Its marginal cost is $50. At what price does the monopoly sell its good in each country if resales are impossible? The price in the United States is $ (Round your answer to the nearest peniny) The price in Japan is $ (Round your answer to the nearest penny)
MC ATC P2 P3 P4 MR Q, Q2 Quantity In the figure above, if the monopolist maximizes profit, how many units of output will be sold and at what price? Quantity = Q2, Price = P1 Quantity = Q1, Price = P3 Quantity = Q1, Price = P4 Quantity = Q2, Price = P2 Quantity = Q1, Price = P1 Price
Price a P5 P4 d P3 f AC P2 MC Q, Q2 Q4 Quantity/time MR Refer to the above figure. Suppose the government requires the natural monopolist to charge the efficient price. Then profits for the firm will be zero. losses equal to Q4 times distance f-g. profits equal to Q1 times distance a-b. losses equal to Q3 times distance d-e. P.
Pleae help solve this. Thank you!
monopolist has demand and cost data given in the table below. The 'P' column gives the demand data -- what is the maximum amount the firm can charge to sell the associated quantity Q? The 'TC' column gives the total cost of producing that level of quantity Q. Q P TC 0 17 10 1 15 15 2 13 19 3 11 23 4 9 27 5 7 32 6 5 38 7 3 46 1. What is the marginal profit of the 1st unit? 2.
