Q14 Monopolists, like firms in other market structure, strive to maximize profit. Microsoft when it first came out with its Windows operating system was thought to be a monopolist. Assume that Microsoft is a monopolist and calculates that at its present output level, marginal cost is $5.50 and marginal revenue is $4.50. Microsoft could increase profits by Multiple Choice decreasing output and leaving price unchanged. increasing price and decreasing output. decreasing price and increasing output. leaving both quatity and price unchanged. decreasing price and leaving output unchanged.
. Profit maximization and loss minimization BYOB is a monopolist in beer production and distribution in the imaginary economy of Hopsville. Suppose that BYOB cannot price discriminate; that is, it sells its beer at the same price per can to all customers. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and demand (D) for beer in this market. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for BYOB. If BYOB is making a profit, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. On the other hand, if BYOB is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade in the area representing its loss. Suppose that BYOB charges $2.50 per can. Your friend Clancy says that since BYOB is a monopoly with market power, it should charge a higher price of $3.00 per can because this will increase BYOB’s profit. Complete the…

Profit-maximization: Non-competitive Market A monopolist in the makeup industry produces two makeup products F and G for which the demand functions, respectively, are:1. Find the profit-maximizing quantity of output for each product.2. Find the profit-maximizing price for each product.3. What is the maximum profit that the firm could earn?
d. Suppose the government imposes an average pricing rule, requiring the monopolist to set its price equal to the average total cost. Place the point labeled “Average cost pricing” at the appropriate coordinates to indicate the firm's price and quantity under this rule. Please place the Monoploy Pricing, Marginal Cost Pricing, and Average Cost Pricing on their appropriate places on the graph. Thank you!
Lagatt Green is a monopoly beer producer and distributor operating in the hypothetical economy of Lightington. Assume that Lagatt Green is not able price discriminate and so it sells its beer to all customers at the same price per bottle. The following graph gives the marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and demand (D) curves that Lagatt Green faces for beer in Lightington. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for Lagatt Green. If Lagatt Green is making a profit use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. On the other hand, if Lagatt Green is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade in the area representing its loss PRICE (Dolan per bottle) 400 2.50 2.00 1.50 1.00 050 0 MC 0 ATC AR D 35 QUANTITY(Tands of botes of beer) = Monopoly Outcome Profe Loss
Please describe each step to solve the problem presented below:
1) A monopoly faces a demand curve P(Q) = 120 – 2Q, and has a marginal cost of 60. a. What is profit-maximizing level of output? What is the profit-maximizing price? How much profit the firm will make? b. Assume that a second firm enters the market. The new firm has an identical cost function. If the two firms enter in a Cournot competition, what will be the price in equilibrium? How much will each firm produce in equilibrium? How much profit will each firm make? c. If, instead, the two firms compete in a Stackelberg game (assume the incumbent firm is the leader), what will be the price in equilibrium? How much each firm will produce in equilibrium? How much profit will each firm make? d. Now assume the follower has to pay a fixed cost, f =100 if q>0. Does it change the follower's decision? Assume again they are playing a Stackelberg game.? e. The leader knows that the follower has to pay the fixed cost and decides produce one third more than the quantity found in part c). Does it…
Suppose that the perfectly competitive soybean industry in the United States is monopolized. Under perfect competition, the equilibrium price was $2 and quantity was 100,000. The monopolist raises price to $5 and restricts quantity to 70,000. Assume that the monopolist is maximizing profits and that the monopolist faces a linear, upward- sloping marginal cost curve that begins at the origin. Also assume that this marginal cost curve is the industry supply curve under perfect competition. What is the loss in consumer surplus that the monopolist captures in the form of profit? $500,000 $350,000 $300,000 $210,000< a) b)
Question is in attached image. Thank you! Only answer D,E,F
Refer to the above table. Given the demand and cost schedules, what is the profit maximizing quantity for this monopolist?
