The demand curve faced by a monopoly firm is given by the function P = 58500- 8.9Q What is the absolute value of the slope of its marginal revenue curve? Note: the absolute value refers to the value of a number after ignoring its sign. For example, the absolute value of -100 is 100. Answer
Company XYZ has a monopoly in its market for one of its' products and it serves 3 regional markets with regional demand functions given by. • Market 1: Q1 = 9 – (0.05) P1 • Market 2: Q2 = 10 – (0.1) P2 • Market 3: Q3 = 16 – (0.2) P3 The firm must make more than 10 units: Q > 10. The firm's cost function is C=490-50Q+2.5 Q2. The marginal cost is the same across all markets. Use Excel to set up this problem and: a) Identify the profit-maximizing output values for each market. b) Identify the surplus for each market and profit for the entire market. c) The output, price, and profit if the firm were not to differentiate across the markets? -

Problem 19 A publishing company has a monopoly in the sales of football cards. According to its estimates, the company's inverse demand function is p = 0.4-0.01q. The company's marginal cost is constant at £0.08. Suppose that the company wants to sell football cards in albums only. Using such a block pricing approach, what will be optimal price that the firm needs to set to maximize its profits? a) £5.12 b) £7.68 c) £2.56 d) £15.36 e) £3.84
3. MUSEUM MONOPOLY MATH Once the museum has incurred the basic operating cost of 60 to open for the day, the average variable cost (and marginal cost) of serving each visitor is only 2. In other words, the museum's total daily operating cost function is DOC[Q] = 60 + 2Q, where Q is the number of visitors. Meanwhile, the inverse demand function for museum admission is P[Q] = 34 - Q. TIP: We used "average daily operating cost" instead of average total cost when discussing museums. a) If this museum were a commercial, profit-maximizing enterprise, then find its profit. TIP: You'll need to find Q* and P*. Even though you could answer this with a well-drawn graph, show that you can "do the math” to find the correct answer. TIP: This may sound familiar. What did you learn about drawing this graph? ☺ b) Suppose the museum manager set the price at 28, which is not the profit-maximizing price. Find its profit. For the remainder of the problem, suppose that the museum is instead a nonprofit…
Assume a monopoly firm is considering the production of two brands, 1 and 2. Marginal cost is constant at 20 for both products -- assume no fixed costs. The inverse demand for brand i is pi=140−qi−dqj , where i≠j and d is a constant. Part A) Find the firm's QUANTITIES
The demand and total cost functions for a monopoly firm are: Q(P) = 39.5 – 0.5P TC(Q) = 60 – Q + 0.5 Q2 1. What is the firm’s profit πM? Indicate this on the graph. 2. What are the firm's fixed and variable costs? 3. What would be the socially optimal Q* and P* (round to 1 decimal place if needed)
4. a) If the marginal cost of a firm is 18e and the fixed cost is 67, find the total cost function. What is the total cost, average cost and variable cost at X=14? b) The demand equation of a monopoly firm is: P=138-3Q^2 and the marginal cost is: MC = 4Q +7, then find the total revenue and consumer's surplus.

1. CLARA is a producer in a monopoly industry. Her demand curve, total revenue curve, marginal revenue curve, total cost curve and marginal cost curve are given as follows: P = 40 – Q [or, Q = 40 – P], TR = 40Q – Q2, MR = 40 – 20, TC = 20 + Q2, MC = 20 a) Find the profit-maximizing level of output for CLARA. b) Find level of profit. c) Can CLARA earn a positive long-run economic profit? Why? Why not?
"No firm is completely sheltered from rivals; all firms compete for the consumer dollars. If that is so, then pure monopoly does not exist." Do you agree? Explain. How might you use Chapter 6's concept of cross elasticity of demand to judge whether monopoly exists? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer.
