can some one help me with this question? The monopoly cost function is given TC = 500 + 12 × Q + 0.5 × Q^2 and the demand function for the products of this monopoly in two markets: Q1 = 400 - 2 × P1, Q2 = 1250 - 5 × P2. There are no other sales markets. Find the volumes of sales and prices in each of the two markets at which the total profit of the monopoly will be maximized.

Consider the following demand and cost functions for a monopoly broadband television firm: P = 16 - 0.0006Q and TC = 100 000 + 0.0004Q2 where Q= the number of subscribers and P= the price of monthly service. What price and quantity would be expected if the firm is allowed to operate freely?
In many countries, the government chooses to "internalize" the monopoly by owning monopoly providers of goods and services. (In some cases these firms are "nationalized" and the government actually buys or confiscates firms that operate in monopoly markets). Explain TWO advantages and TWO disadvantages of such an approach
Consider a monopoly that faces the demand curve P = 20 − Q, and has the marginal cost curve MC = 2. a) Use the demand curve to find the equation of the marginal revenue curve. b) Find the profit-maximizing price and quantity for this monopoly if the monopoly uses uniform pricing. What is the producer surplus? c) Now, suppose the monopoly wants to increase profits using block pricing. The total cost the monopoly incurs is T C = 2Q. Find the optimal quantities, Q1 and Q2, and their corresponding optimal prices, P1 and P2 that maximize profits using a two-block pricing scheme. What is the new producer surplus?

Can you help with parts d,e, and f please? 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?
