instructions please tackle d only. answers for a, b and c are attached as photos. The Metro Electric Company produces and distributes electricity to residential customers in the metropolitan area. This company is a monopoly and faces the following (inverse) demand: P = 0.04 – 0.01Q, where Q is the quantity and P is the price per unit. Its cost function is: C(Q) = 0.005Q + 0.00375Q². (a) What is the firm's marginal cost function? What is the firm's marginal revenue function? Find the equilibrium price and quantity. (b) Illustrate graphically the equilibrium price, quantity, consumer surplus, and producer surplus. (c) Compute the equilibrium consumer surplus and producer surplus. Compute the deadweight loss of this monopoly. (d) Now a new competitor, Western Light, with constant marginal costs MC. = 0.025 can potentially enter the market. What can Metro Electric Company do to retain the market? What price would it charge? What quantity would it produce? How do the deadweight loss in this…
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)
Can you help me solve this please?
If the inverse demand curve is p = 150-3Q and the marginal cost is constant at $12, how does charging the monopoly a specific tax of $18 per unit affect the society's welfare Society's welfare increases by $90.4 Society's welfare decreases by $220.5 Society's welfare increases by $170.8 Society's welfare decreases by $100.7 Society's welfare decreases by $93.8.
Assume the following equations describe the conditions for a monopoly: Qd = 2,000 - 100P TC = 3,500 + 5q + .005q2 Where Qd is the quantity demanded, P is the commodity's price in dollars, TC is the firm's total cost in dollars and q is the quantity of output produced. Based upon these equations, answer the following questions: a. What is the firm's equation for total revenue expressed as a function of quantity? b. What is the firm's equation for marginal revenue expressed as a function of quantity? What is the firm's equation for marginal cost expressed as a function of quantity? c. What is the firm's profit maximizing quantity of output? d. What price will the firm charge for the commodity? e. What would be the socially optimal quantity of output? f. What price would regulators have to establish in order to have the firm produce the socially optimal quantity of output?
Dear tutor, please solve these True/False Questions. Thank You! A monopoly always operates in the inelastic portion of its demand curve. The less elastic is the demand for a firm's product, the greater is that firm's market power.
A monopoly produces widgets at a marginal cost of $10 per unit and zero fixed costs. It faces an inverse demand function given by P = 50 - Q. The demand elasticity of a widget at the monopoly price and quantity is: Multiple Choice -1.5. -2.5. 2
The figure at right shows the demand line, marginal revenue line, and cost curves for a single-price monopolist.
