A single-price monopolist is currently producing at an output level where marginal revenue is $14, marginal cost is $16, AVC=$13, and ATC= $15. It is assumed that the monopolist, as usual, chooses its price on the demand curve. To maximize profit or minimize losses in the short run, this monopolist should O A. decrease the price and increase the level of output. O B. increase the price and the level of output. O C. leave the market. O D. decrease the price and the level of output. O E. increase the price and decrease the level of output.
A monopolist is facing the following demand schedule Pa24-30 That is, Q0 implies Pe24, then Qefimplies P21, and Q-2 entals P18, and so one. Fixed costs will be neglected in this analysis. The marginal cost is constant and equal to 3 for every unit produced. Determina (a) The quantity produced and the amount of maximum profits (b) Price and quantity to yield the efficient solution (c) Redo (a) when we impose a sales tax equal to 4 (per unit sold).

Market Power and Monopoly - End of Chapter Problem Green Machine is the only greenhouse in isolated Point Barrow, Alaska, and therefore has a monopoly on the sale of fresh flowers. The manager estimates that the elasticity of demand for flowers is -0.5. Green Machine cannot be maximizing profits because O it is operating in the inelastic portion of its demand curve, so it can increase price and still gain more revenue while lowering cost. This will increase profits. according to the Lerner index an elasticity of demand of -0.5 means Green Machine's markup is 50% higher than what it should be, so it needs to decrease price and increase sales. elasticity of demand is negative; therefore, Green Machine's total costs are higher than its total revenue, and profits are not being maximized. O its marginal revenue must be greater than its marginal cost when elasticity of demand is between 0 and -1, so profits are not being maximized and it must expand production to increase sales and lower…
