This profit-maximizing firm will produce Blank 1 units. What price will this profit-maximizing firm charge? $Blank 2 (Do NOT enter the '$' in your response. Enter only the whole dollar amount; do NOT enter cents.) If the industry was perfectly competitive instead of monopolistic, then market output would be Blank 3 units and market price would be $Blank 4. (Do NOT enter the '$' in your response.

You are managing a firm with market power, and you think the price elasticity of demand for your product is between 1.3 and 1.5. You estimate that your marginal cost is between $55 and $70. The price that you should set would range between $ and $. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) If you refine your estimate of the marginal cost to $80, the price you should set would now range between $ and $ (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
Compare graphically welfare implications of the long run equilibrium of a monopolistically competitive industry, monopoly and perfectly competitive industry.
Your firm has a monopoly over of two products, Good 1 and Good 2. Both products are produced at a constant marginal cost of $25. You face four consumers (or groups of consumers) with the following reservation prices: (Image)Suppose that you have three alternative pricing strategies: i) individual pricing, ii) pure bundling, and iii) mixed bundling. For each strategy, determine the optimal prices to be charged, which consumer buys which product and the resulting profit. Which pricing strategy would yield the largest profit?

According to Mankiw, the two characteristics perfect competition, monopolistic competition, and monopoly have in common are Question 10 options: a) quantity produced is where MR = MC ; could earn economic profit in the long run b) quantity produced is where MR = MC; cannot earn economic profit in the long run c) Quantity produced is where MR < MC ; could earn economic profit in the long run d) Quantity produced is where MR > MC; cannot earn economic profit in the long run

A shoe store in a monopolistically competitive market has a demand curve for their shoes given by P = 81-0.5Q. The variable costs of producing a shoe are given by the equation VC = Q2 + 3Q and so the marginal costs are MC = 20 +3. a) What is the shoe store's profit - maximizing output and price? If the shoe store is in a long-run equilibrium, what must its fixed costs be?
