The table below shows a monopolist's demand curve and the cost information for the production of its good. If the monopolist is trying to maximize its profit what would it be? Quantity Price per Unit Total Cost 10 $100 $100 20 $80 $400 30 $60 $800 40 $40 $1,400 50 $20 $2,400 Question 40 options: a) $1,200 b) $1,000 c) $1,600 d) $1, 800
Refer to the scenario above. The monopolist profit is maximized when the quantity sold is____ packs. How would be the price? a)Q=50, P=2 b)Q=75, P=5 c)Q=100, P=2 d)Q=150, P=5
The data below relate to a monopolist and the product it produces. If the firm wants to maximize profit, what output and price will it choose? Quantity Price per Unit Total Cost 0 $22 $20 1 $20 $24 2 $18 $27 3 $15 $32 4 $14 $40 5 $12 $49 6 $10 $59 Question 1 options: a) Q=4 : P=$14 b) Q=5 : P=$12 c) Q=2 : P=$18 d) Q=3 : P=$15.
A product may be provided by a monopolist, but the market may be contestable. How can it be that a monopoly can be as efficient as a perfectly competitive market?
Explain why each of the following statements is false. For each, write the correct statement. A monopolist maximizes profits when MC = P. The higher the price elasticity, the higher is a monopolist’s price above its MC. Monopolists ignore the marginal principle. Monopolists will maximize sales. They will therefore produce more than perfect competitors and their price will be lower.
Only one firm produces and sells soccer balls in the country of Wiknam, and as the story begins, international trade in soccer balls is prohibited. The following equations describe the monopolist's demand, marginal revenue, total cost, and marginal cost: Demand: P = 10 - Q Marginal Revenue:MR = 10 - 2 Q Total Cost TC= 3 + Q+0.5 Q2 Marginal Cost: MC= 1+ Q, where Q is quantity and Pis the price measured in Wiknamian dollars. a. How many soccer balls does the monopolist produce? At what price are they sold? What is the monopolist's profit? b. One day, the King of Wiknam decrees that henceforth there will be free trade-either imports or exports of soccer balls at the world price of $6.The firm is now a price taker in a competitive market What happens to the domestic production of soccer balls? To domestic consumption? Does Wiknam export or import soccer balls? c. In our analysis of international trade in Chapter a country becomes an exporter when the price without trade is below the…
A perfectly competitive firm is expected to make a $0 economic profit in the long-run. What type(s) of profit would you expect a monopolist to earn in the long-run? Why the difference?
Hi! I got stuck with my microeconomics homework. Can you please help? Here's the problem: A monopolist knows that in order to expand the quantity of output it produces from 8 to 9 units it must lower the price of its output from $2 to $1. Calculate the quantity effect and the price effect. Use these results to calculate the monopolist’s marginal revenue of producing the 9th unit. The marginal cost of producing the 9th unit is positive. Is it a good idea for the monopolist to produce the 9th unit? It is from Microeconomics: Canadian Edition by Paul Krugman; Robin Wells; Iris Au; Jack Parkinson
What is the relationship between elasticity and Marginal Revenue = 0 at unit elasticity for a monopolist?
Scenario Use the following information to answer questions 16-19. The graph below shows the market demand for computers in a small country. To develop a domestic computer industry, the government prohibits imports of computers and gives a single local firm the sole right to produce and sell computers (that is, it is a legal monopoly). The demand curve shows the local demand for computers. The cost curves show the marginal cost (MC) and average total cost (ATC) of the single producer. The graph also shows the marginal revenue (MR) curve faced by this firm. Price per computer (Dollars) $3500 $3000 $2500 $2000 $1500 $1000 $500 0 MR MC.. ATC Demand 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 Quantity of computers (number per year)
The following table shows a monopolist’s demand curve and cost information for the production of its good. What price will it charge? Quantity Price per Unit Total Cost 25 $5 $110 30 $10 $125 35 $14 $130 40 $15 $140 Question 7 options: $13 $15 $11 $12
Suppose there is a monopolist in the market for a specific video game facing a demand curve: P = 20-0.5Q with MR = 20 - Q. The monopolist marginal cost curve is MC = 4, its total variable costs are TVC = 4Q and it faces a total fixed costs equal TFC = $102. a. What is the optimal quantity to maximize profit? b. What is the optimal price to maximize profit? c. What is the profit for the monopoly? d. What is the consumer surplus?
