4. A pharmaceutical firm is marketing a patented drug it has developed (the firm therefore has monopoly rights over the drug). The demand for the drug is given by Q = 8000 - 8P (MR(Q) = 1000 - ), where P is the price of the drug (in cents), and the total cost of production is TC(Q) = Q2+100Q+10000 (MC(Q) = 2Q + 100). a. Calculate the (monopoly) price of the drug, PM, and the quantity sold, QM b. Suppose now that the drug's patent expires, and other pharmaceutical firms can begin producing it. Assume this result in a competitive supply of the drug, and calculate the long-run competitive equilibrium price and aggregate quantity. Compare these to those you found in part a.
The table below shows a monopolist’s demand curve and cost information for the production of its good. What quantity will it produce? Quantity Price per Unit Total Cost 1,000 $5.00 $1,000 1,100 $4.50 $1,100 1,300 $2.50 $1,150 1,400 $2.00 $1,200 Question 6 options: $1,400 $1,300 $1,100 $1,000
Identify the primary difference between a purely competition and a monopoly market
How do you find the profit maximizing PRICE (not level of output) on a graph for a monopoly with demand, marginal revenue, marginal cost, and average total cost curves. Group of answer choices Find the minimum point on the ATC curve and go straight over to the price axis. Find the point where MR = MC and go straight over to the price axis. Find the point where MR = MC, go straight up until you hit the demand curve, and then go straight over to the price axis. Find the point where demand hits marginal cost and go straight over to the price axis.
