Question 4 A monopolist has two sets of customers. The inverse demand for Group 1 is described by P = 200-Q, where P represents the Price and Q represents the quantity. For Group 2 the inverse demand is P = 200-2Q. The monopolist faces constant marginal cost of 40. a. Show the monopolist's total demand, if the two markets are treated as one. b. Show that the monopolist profit maximising price is P = 120 if both groups are to be charged the same price. At this price how much is sold to members of Group 1 and how much to members of Group 2?

A country that ends a 22-year old state monopoly in telecoms. The phone services market in this country is illustrated by the following equations: Demand: p = 80−q MC: p=−40+2q 1.Draw the the demand, the MR and the MC of the monopolist in the following graph. 2.Suppose a state monopoly on the phone services market. In this case, indicate the price paid by consumers and the quantity exchanged, and calculate the welfare loss compared to the optimal situation. 3.Now consider the situation after the abolition of the state monopoly. With the phone services market now competitive, the state is losing customers, and therefore also losing revenue as a result of new companies entering the market. To compensate for the drop in revenue, the government decides to impose an excise tax of $30 on the phone services market. In this case, indicate the price paid by consumers and the quantity exchanged, and calculate the welfare loss compared to the optimal situation. 4.Give an economic…

Question 5 A monopolist sells in two markets. The demand curve for her product is given by p₁ = 119 – 2x₁ in the first market and p₂ = 123 - 5x₂ in the second market, where x; is the quantity sold in Market i and Pi is the price charged in Market i. She has a constant marginal cost of production, MC = 3; and no fixed costs. She can charge different prices in the two markets. What is the profit-maximizing combination of quantities for this monopolist?
2. Given the demand curve of the monopolist Q = 60 - 2P and the cost function of the monopolist TC = 50-4Q+ 0.5 Q^{2}, Then find: A. The inverse demand function, average revenue, the marginal revenue functions, marginal cost function? B. Find the level of output and price that maximizes the monopolist profit? C. The level of profit at equilibrium. D. Show graphically profit maximization level of output?
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? Next, verify this result by using Marginal Analysis to find the profit maximizing price and quantity combination. For each quantity, ask yourself if Marginal Revenue exceeds Marginal Cost. If it does, then profits would be increased by producing that quantity. As you go down the table to higher quantities, stop…
Assume a monopolist with downward-sloping demand and marginal revenue (MR) curves. The monopolist operates with standard marginal cost (MC) and average total cost (ATC) curves. How does a monopolist determine the profit-maximizing output level and the corresponding profit-maximizing price? A. The output level occurs where MR-MC and price is determined from the demand curve at this output level OB. The output level occurs where Demand = MC and price is determined from the marginal revenue curve at this output level. OC. Both the output level and price are found where MR = MC. OD. Both the output level and price are found where Demand = MC.
1. Consider a monopolist where the market demand curve for the produce is given by P = 520 2Q. This monopolist has marginal costs that can be expressed as MC = 100 + 2Q and total costs that can be expressed as TC = 100Q + Q2 + 50.a. Given the above information, what is this monopolists profit maximizing price and output if it charges a single price?b. Given the above information, calculate this single price monopolists profit.c. At the profit maximizing quantity, what is this monopolists average total cost of production (ATC)?
1. A monopolist serves two individuals, A and B. Individual demands are defined by p = 7-9 and PB = 42q, respectively. The monopolist's total cost of production is defined by TC(q + 9) = 2(a +98). Suppose that price discrimination is not possible. a. C ) Sketch market demand and the monopolist's marginal revenue of output. b. ( Find (p, q) and indicate the solution on the graph. State whether anyone is excluded.

Assume a monopolist faces the demand schedule given below and a constant marginal cost of $2 for each unit of output. Fill in the total and marginal revenue amounts in the table. Part 2 To maximize profits, this monopolist would produce_______ units of output at a price of $ ________ per unit.
Suppose a monopolist sells a product to faculty members and students on the campus. If the firm sets a single price, the monopolist produces 5000 units and sell them at the price of $3 per unit. At this price, the price elasticity of demand for faculty member is -2.5. And the price elasticity of demand for students is -1.5. The monopolist is considering whether she should set different prices for the faculty members and students and asks for your advice. The monopolist is thinking about charging faculty members a 10% higher price. The quantity demanded by the faculty members would fall by %. The monopolist is thinking about charging students a 10% higher price. The quantity demanded by the students would fall by %. Who should the monopolist charge more? mention faculty and students and how much
