↑ If a monopoly faces an inverse demand curve of p=270-Q has a constant marginal and average cost of $90, and can perfectly price discriminate, what is its profit? What are the consumer surplus, welfare, and deadweight loss? How would these results change if the firm were a single-price monopoly? Profit from perfect price discrimination (x) is $ 16.200 (Enter your response as a whole number) Corresponding consumer surplus is (enter your response as whole numbers): welfare is and deadweight loss is CS=$ W-s OWL-S

You are the manager of a monopoly, and your analysts have estimated your demand and cost functions as P = 400 - 4Q and C(Q) = 2,000+ 3Q2, respectively, a . What price-quantity combination maximizes your firm's profits? Instructions: Round your response to the nearest penny (two decimal places). Price: $ Quantity: units b. Calculate the maximum profits. Instructions: Round your response to the nearest penny (two decimal places).
If the inverse demand curve is p=100-Q and the marginal cost is constant at $10, how does charging the monopoly a specific tax of t= $12 per unit affect the monopoly optimum and the welfare of consumers, the monopoly, and society (where society's welfare includes the tax revenue)? What is the incidence of the tax on consumers? As a result of the tax, the profit-maximizing quantity decreases by 6 units and the profit-maximizing price increases by $6. (Enter numeric responses using real numbers rounded to two decimal places.) Show Transcribed Text Consumer surplus by $ The monopoly's surplus (producer surplus) Finally, society's welfare by $. The consumer incidence of the tax is%. by S.
Suppose a monopoly firm with a constant marginal cost 10 faces an inverse linear demand function p= 50 - Q. What would be the profit-maximizing price and quantity if its marginal cost doubles?
Dollars P3 P₂ P4 0 P3 P2 MC P1 P4 ATC Refer to the above diagram for a pure monopolist. Suppose a regulatory commission is created to determine a legal price for the monopoly. If the commission seeks to provide the monopolist with a "fair return," it will set price at: D Q3 Q₁ Q₂ Quantity Q1 Q2 MR
a) Find and highlight the consumer surplus in the monopoly in the diagram.b) Draw a possible marginal cost curve for the monopolist into the diagram that is consistentwith all the other curves that are already given. c) Based on the marginal cost curve that you constructed in part (b), find and highlight themonopolist’s total costs at the monopoly price in the diagram. d) Briefly (200 words max) explain the shape of the marginal revenue curve as compared tothe demand curve in the diagram.
Suppose a monopoly firm’s total cost of production TC = f + c•Q where f > 0 and c > 0. Is this firm a “natural monopoly”? Answer ‘Yes” or “No” based on your explanation of the meaning of a “natural monopoly.”
