- A profit-maximizing ten-pin bowing club segments its market by practicing third-degree price discrimination. It charges juniors $4 per game based on their price elasticity of demand of –2.0. Its adult customers have a price elasticity of demand of –1.4. The marginal cost per game does not vary by the customer’s age. What price does the ten-pin bowling club charge adult customers?You are the manager of a monopoly.

- Quick Buck and Pushy Sales produce and sell identical products and face zero marginal and average cost. The accompanying graph shows the market demand curve for their product. Price ($/unit) 1000 2000 3000 4,000 Quantity (units/month) If Quick Buck and Pushy Sales decide to collude and work together as a monopolist, then together they should produce Multiple Choice 3,000; $1 4,000; $2 D 2,000; $2 1,000; $3 units per month and charge per unit.Suppose the figure to the right represents the market for a particular brand of soap such as Zest, Dove, or Ivory. Suppose also that the market is monopolistically competitive and the firm behaves optimally to maximize profit. Use the rectangle drawing tool to shade in the firm's economic profit or loss. Properly label the object. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. Price and cost (per pack) 4.00- 3.80- 3.60 3.40 3.20 3.00- 2.80- 2.60- 2.40- 2.20 2.00+ 1.80 1.60- 1.40- 1.20 1.00- 0.80 0.60 0.40- 0.20- 0.00+ 0 2 MC MB 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 Quantity (packs of soap in thousands) ATC 18 20The monthly demand function for a product sold by a monopoly is p=1960-1/3x2 dollars, and the average cost is c=1000+x2 + x2 dollars.production is limited to 1000 units and x is in hundred units. (a) Find the quanity (in hundreds of units) that will give maximum profits. (b) Find the maximum profit. (Round your answers to the nearest cent)
- Assume the figure on the right shows the cost structure for a monopolistically competitive firm selling a particular brand of shoes. MC is the marginal cost curve and AC is the average cost curve. If this firm produces 2 thousand pairs of shoes, does it minimize average cost? How much more would they need to produce to reach minimum average cost? The firm needs to produce an additional thousand pairs of shoes to reach minimum average cost. (Enter your response as an integer.) SEED Price (dollars per pair) 80- 72- 64- 56- 48- 40- 32- 24- 16- 8- 0- 0 1 Quantity (in thousands) MC AG 10 Q 20Topside Tiles, which produces roofing tiles, is a local monopoly. Its inverse demand function is p=140-2Q, and its constant marginal cost is 10. The owner has delegated the decision of how much output to produce to the plant manager. The manager's income, Y, is 5% of revenue: Y=0.05R. Show that a manager who wishes to maximize income, Y, will choose an output that exceeds the profit-maximizing level. Is there a conflict of interest between the owner and manager? Is this situation an agency problem? (Hint: This problem can be solved using a graph, by using calculus, or by using the rule that the MR curve has twice the slope of the demand curve.) The output that maximizes profit is (Enter your response rounded to one decimal place.) units.True of False: A monopolist selling cars in New York finds it unprofitable to raise price by 10% above the current level. Thus, the relevant market is cars in New York.
