For a single-price monopolist, marginal revenue is less than price because Select one: a. the revenue gain from the last unit sold is offset by a revenue loss on the units that previously had been sold at a higher price O b. the revenue gain from the last unit sold is offset by further gains in price on units not sold at all. the price does not have to be lowered on all previous units sold. PO total revenue always decreases as output increases

The utility function for an individual is given as u (x; y)= xy. Suppose that his income is $ 100 and the price of Good Y is $ 10 per unit. However, Good X is priced somewhat different. It is priced as follows: The first 6 units cost $ 10 per unit and any additional units cost $ 5 per unit. a) Draw this individual's budget constraint. b) What consumption bundle will this individual choose?
If the monopolist shown in the following figure could practice first-degree price discrimination, the consumer surplus would be: Price (dollars) 50 40 30 20 10 0 O $450.00 $900.00 $0.00 $225.00 O $1,200.00 30 50 60 MR 100 MC Quantity
A single-price monopolist is currently producing at an output level where marginal revenue is $14, marginal cost is $16, AVC=$13, and ATC= $15. It is assumed that the monopolist, as usual, chooses its price on the demand curve. To maximize profit or minimize losses in the short run, this monopolist should O A. decrease the price and increase the level of output. O B. increase the price and the level of output. O C. leave the market. O D. decrease the price and the level of output. O E. increase the price and decrease the level of output.
The quantity sold by a monopolist using first degree price discrimination is higher than the quantity sold by a monopolist who cannot price discriminate. O True O False
Please no written by hand solutions Please calculate inverse elasticity pricing rule Given the demand curve for a monopolist: Q = 80 - 4P a. Derive the equation for TR and MR b. Given MC = 2Q, solve for the profit maximizing QM*. c. At the QM*, solve for PM*, MR, and MC Formula from Chapter 11 (i.e., inverse elasticity pricing rule)
QUESTION 12 The table below shows a monopolist's demand curve and the cost information for the production of its good. What will their profits equal? Quantity Price per UnitTotal Cost 10 $100 20 $80 $60 $40 $20 O 30 40 50 a. $600 O b. $1,200 O c. $1,600 O d. $1,000 $100 $400 $800 $1,400 $2,400
Cost & Figure 15 Revenue $10 per unit MC $9 $8 АТС $7 $6 $5 $4 $3 $2 $1 MR 2 3 4 7 8 10 Quantity (in thousands) Refer to the above Figure 15 which shows cost curves, a marginal revenue (MR) curve and a demand curve faced by a monopolist. If this monopolist is profit maximizing and does not price discriminate, it will produce ( Select ] v units of output and charge a price of [ Select ] per unit. Given its cost curves, we can tell that this monopolist is currently earning [ Select ] economic profit. According to the classical welfare economics, the socially efficient quantity to be produced in this market would be [ Select ] units of output and a socially efficient price would be [Select ] per unit.
When does a subsidy that benefits consumers result in a more efficient allocation of a resource? A when the good being produced or consumed is not scarce B when the good being produced or consumed generates a negative externality when the good being produced or consumed generates a positive externality D when the equilibrium price of the good is one that consumers don't like
QUESTION 23 If the monopolist shown in the following figure could practice first-degree price discrimination, the producer surplus would be: Price (dollars) 50 40 30 20 10 $0. $225. $450. $900. O $1,200. 30 50 60 MR 100 MC Quantity
Question 30 Demand: P=120-Q Marginal Revenue: MR=120-2Q Total Cost: TC=Q² Marginal Cost: MC=2Q For this monopolist, the profit-maximizing price is and the profit-maximizing quantity is 90, 30 30, 90 40, 80 None of these answers O O O
If a monopolist faces an inverse demand curve, p(y) = 100-2y and has constant marginal costs of $32 and zero fixed costs and if this monopolist is able to practice perfect price discrimination, its total profits will be O a. $1,156. O b. $17. O c. $578. O d. $1,734. O e. $289.
