Hello, I need help with this Econ question. I saw that these questions are already answered in bartleby
The graph below depicts the demand curve facing a monopolist. The monopoly has constant marginal costs of $5. On the graph: A). Use the straight line tool to draw the marginal revenue curve. B) use the straight line tool to draw the marginal cost curve up to 60 units of output C) use the point tool to plot the profit maximization point on the demand curve.
Suppose an airline sells air tickets to two types of customer – business travelersand vacation travelers. Their estimated demand elasticities are -2.5 and -4.0respectively.Suppose the marginal cost is constant at $240, and the services provided to thetwo types of customer are similar.a. Based on the given information, explain with TWO practical reasons whether theairline should charge a higher price on business travelers or vocational travelers.Explain without calculation.
1. In the market for steel pots for boiling water, the supply curve is the typical upward-sloping straight line, and the demand curve is the typical downward-sloping straight line. The equilibrium quantity in the market for steel pots is 200 per month when there is no tax. The government imposes a tax of Rs.5 per steel vessel. As a result, the government is able to raise Rs.800 per month in tax revenue. a. Please, specify new equilibrium quantity of steel pots (after tax) b. Draw a graph to show the new and old equilibrium quantity and the tax revenue (before and after-tax) C. Suppose you are told that the equilibrium price was Rs.100 when the tax was not imposed. With the tax now the buyer pays Rs.103 and the seller receives Rs.98. What is the loss in consumer and producer surplus? Show it on the graph. d. What is the loss in welfare? Explain. e You advise the government that instead of a tax on steel pots they should impose the tax on the steel industry to minimize the welfare loss.…
2. A monopolist faces demand p = 10 - Q and has costs TC = 10 + 2q. a. Provide expressions for marginal revenue and marginal cost. b. Maximize the firm's profit to determine the equilibrium price, quantity, and profit. c. The monopolist faces the prospect of entry by competitor with the same cost function. If the firm enters, they will compete by choosing quantities. Does the monopolist need to worry about this entry threat? Explain. d. The government is considering a subsidy of 4 for all firms in this industry. Should the monopolist support or oppose this policy? Explain.
None
1. Refer to the figure below when the firm is a monopolist. Price P MC L K J ATC D T W Quaxtity \MR a) If the monopolist maximizes profit, how many units will it produce? b) What price will the monopolist charge? c) What area measure the monopolist's profit? d) What level of output would be socially efficient? 2. A Monopolist is facing a demand schedule that is shown in the following table. Quantity Total Revenue Average Revenue Marginal Revenue Price $35 $32 1 2 3 $29 14 $26 15 $23 $20 $17 $14 6 7 18 19 $11 10 $8 a) Fill out the rest of the table. b) Assume this monopolist's marginal cost is constant at $11. What quantity of output (Q) will it produce and what price (P) will it charge? ------
MC ATC P2 P3 P4 MR Q, Q2 Quantity In the figure above, if the monopolist maximizes profit, how many units of output will be sold and at what price? Quantity = Q2, Price = P1 Quantity = Q1, Price = P3 Quantity = Q1, Price = P4 Quantity = Q2, Price = P2 Quantity = Q1, Price = P1 Price
Price a P5 P4 d P3 f AC P2 MC Q, Q2 Q4 Quantity/time MR Refer to the above figure. Suppose the government requires the natural monopolist to charge the efficient price. Then profits for the firm will be zero. losses equal to Q4 times distance f-g. profits equal to Q1 times distance a-b. losses equal to Q3 times distance d-e. P.
