A monopolist is selling a product with a linear demand curve with a vertical intercept of P=10 dollars (a price above which no one will buy the product) and a horizontal intercept of 20 thousand (the amount people would consume of the product were free). The product has zero marginal cost of zero (e.g., downloadable software). The profit-maximizing monopolist will set a price equal to dollars, produce and sell a quantity of thousand units, and will earn revenue of thousand dollars.
Refer to the accompanying table, which represents the costs and production for a monopolist. Price Quantity Fixed Cost Variable Cost $20 0 $10 $0 $18 1 $10 $5 $16 2 $10 $8 $14 3 $10 $18 $12 4 $10 $30 $10 5 $10 $44 1) At Q=2, the marginal cost of this firm is $ ____ 2)The profit made by this profit-maximizing firm is $ __
The monopolist must decrease price on all units of a product sold in order to sell additional units. This explains why: a monopoly has a perfectly elastic demand curve. (Omarginal revenue is less than price or average revenue. there are barriers to entry in monopoly. total revenues are greater than total costs at the profit maximizing level of output.
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.

The following graph shows the demand (D) for cable services in the imaginary town of Utilityburg. The graph also shows the marginal revenue (MR) curve, the marginal cost (MC) curve, and the average total cost (ATC) curve for the local cable company, a natural monopolist. On the following graph, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for this natural monopolist. Which of the following statements are true about this natural monopoly? Check all that apply. It is more efficient on the cost side for one producer to exist in this market rather than a large number of producers. The cable company is experiencing economies of scale. The cable company must own a scarce resource. The cable company is experiencing diseconomies of scale. True or False: Without government regulation, natural monopolies never earn zero profit in the long run. True False

Question 1 ( A monopolist sells Soma at the same price into two different markets. The inverse demand for Soma in market #1 is denoted p1(g) = 15 – q. The demand for Soma in market #2 is given by D2(p) = 80 – 3p. Assume the monopolist's cost function is C(q) = log(1 + q), where q represents the total quantity produced. (Note: (1) log denotes natural logarithm; (2) Round all answers to 2 decimal places.) 1. What is the profit maximizing quantity for the monopolist? 1 Answer:. Justification:
A firm facing a downward sloping demand curve is producing a level of output at which price is $16, marginal revenue is $12, and average total cost, which is at its minimum value, is $8. In order to maximize profit, the firm should decrease price. A monopolist is producing a level of output at which price is $138, marginal revenue is $72, average total cost is $72, and marginal cost is $103. In order to maximize profit, the firm should output. A firm with market power is producing a level of output at which price is $19, marginal revenue is $12, average variable cost is $14, and marginal cost is $26. In order to maximize profit, the firm should price.
Suppose a monopolist faces a market demand that is the first two columns in the table below. Also, in the short run, assume that Total Fixed Cost equals $100 and the monopolist has Total Variable Cost according to the table. Find Total Revenue for each price and quantity combination, and then Marginal Revenue as price falls and quantity increases. Fill in the rest of the costs in the table and find profit at each price and quantity combination as the difference between Total Revenue and Total Cost. If profit is less than zero that indicates a loss. What is the maximum profit you found in this table? At what quantity and price combination is profit maximized for this monopolist?
A single-price monopolist faces an inverse demand function of: P(Q,B)=100−Q+B0.5, where Q is the quantity, P is the price, and B is the level of advertising. The marginal cost is a constant $10 per unit, the cost per unit of advertising is $1, and there are no fixed costs. Solve for the firm's profit-maximizing price, quantity, and level of advertising. Hint: the profit function must be maximized with respect to two choice variables (Q and B). The profit-maximizing quantity is -------? units. (round your answer to two decimal places) The profit-maximizing level of advertising is----------? units. (round your answer to two decimal places) The profit-maximizing price is-----?
