A monopolist's inverse demand function is estimated as P= 400 - 2Q. The company produces output at two facilities; the marginal cost of producing at facility 1 is MC₁(Q1) = 7Q₁, and the marginal cost of producing at facility 2 is MC2(Q2)=2Q2- a. Provide the equation for the monopolist's marginal revenue function. (Hint: Recall that Q₁ + Q₂ = Q.) MR(Q) = 400 $ 7Q₁- b. Determine the profit-maximizing level of output for each facility.

Consider the case of a monopolist who charges the same price to all consumers. The demand for the good is given by Q=1077096p-6, where Q denotes the quantity demanded at price p. The firm's total cost of producing Q units is given by the function C(Q) = 6 Q What is the profit maximizing quantity for the monopolist? (As usual, you must enter a number below, not a ratio, not an expression with symbols..., just a number.)
The demand function for a monopolist is given by: P1 = 1,250 – 3.5Q and the cost function is given by C(Q) = 1,200 +1.5Q + 0.8Q2. This firm, Otsuka, is a pharmaceutical holding a patent on a depression treatment, Rexulti. However, the patent expired, and a generic treatment is offered in the market. Now, the new market price is P=$400. Based on this information, what are the optimal profits with a generic treatment?
Consider a monopoly market in which the market demand curve is given by P = 240 - 2Q, the marginal revenue curve is MR = 240 – 4Q, the marginal cost curve is MC = 2Q, and there are zero fixed costs. Suppose the government intervenes and turns the market into a competitive market, and all the firms in the market have the same marginal cost curve as the monopolist, MC = 2Q, and zero fixed costs. How much is the resulting gain in total surplus? 400 800 300 600
You own a road resurfacing business called Dahyun Bricks services located in Seoul. You are the only reservicing business in South Korea. Therefore, you have a local monopoly. Your experience running the company for many years has taught you that market demand for your service can be described by the demand function: p = 20 - Q. The cost function is c =q². Therefore, marginal cost equals 2q. Quantity refersto square metre of road resurfacing. Note the Q denotes aggregate market demand and q denotes your production. Of course, if you are the only supplier than q = Q. a) Compute profit maximising price and output. Compute profits. b) The monopoly profit that you have been earning has attracted attention from another firm that will set up operations in South Koreaand compete for market share. You are concerned with losing market share and profit. So, you offer the potential entrant the following deal. Both firms agree to maximise industry profits (joint profits). The potential entrant…

Babydrink is a monopolist due to its patent in infant formula. The total cost for production in dollars is given by C(q) = 24q2 + 600q +9600. a) What is the fixed cost? b) Find a function that gives the marginal cost. c) Find a function that gives the average cost. d) Find the efficient scale (that minimizes the average cost). e) Verify it is the most efficient not the least efficient.
Consider a monopolist with a total cost function given as C(Q) = 1.5Q2 + 40Q that faces an inverse market demand function P(Q) = 280 − 0.5Q **Calculate the profit-maximizing quantity, price, and economic profits for this monopolist, with the government imposing a $20 per unit tax. Quantity: ? (Round your answer to two decimal places). Price: ? (Round your answer to two decimal places). Economic profits: $ ? (Round your answer to two decimal places).
Cindy's demand function for her legal services is given by the equation Q = 5000 - 20P, where Q represents the number of 1-hour sessions per year and P represents the price of each session. Her marginal revenue function is MR = 250 - 0.01Q. Cindys operation has no fixed costs, but she incurs a cost of $500 per session ( going to the clients house). What is Cindys yearly profit?
Eyeglasslux is a single-price monopolist in the eye-glass frame market. It faces a Market demand given by Q=378-2P. Its Total Cost function is TC=6,422+20Q and Marginal Cost is MC=20. If the government imposes a price ceiling of $27, what is the monopolist's QUANTITY in the SHORT- run?
Assume quantities need not be integers. A monopolist incurs marginal cost equal to MC=Q per unit and faces demand P(Q)=18 – 3 x Q. If there is no fixed cost for production, what is the total cost of production?
Question 4. Consider a monopolist facing a demand curve of the form D(p) = 100 – 2p where p is the - unit price. Suppose the monopolist has a constant marginal cost of production of $2 a unit. Bunter was asked to determine the price which would maximize consumer surplus. Here is his solution: Total surplus as a function of price is 50(100 – 2x)dx. The derivative of this with respect to p is -(100-2p). This is maximized by making p as large as possible, i.e., p = 50. Is Bunter correct? If not, what is the error that Bunter has made?
