Suppose there is a monopolist in the market for a specific video game facing a demand curve: P = 20-0.5Q with MR = 20 - Q. The monopolist marginal cost curve is MC = 4, its total variable costs are TVC = 4Q and it faces a total fixed costs equal TFC = $102. a. What is the optimal quantity to maximize profit? b. What is the optimal price to maximize profit? c. What is the profit for the monopoly? d. What is the consumer surplus?
A movie monopolist sells to college students and other adults, as in Worked-Out Problem 18.2 (page 635). The demand function for students is Q = 1,400-50P, and the demand function for other adults is Q = 1,800 - 50P. Marginal cost is $4 per ticket (instead of $2 per ticket, as in the Worked-Out Problem). Instructions: Round your answers to 2 decimal places. a. What prices will the monopolist set when she can discriminate? How will discrimination affect her profit? Pstudent = $ per ticket. = $ Padult Profit = $ b. What prices will the monopolist set when cannot discriminate? How will it affect her profit? = $ per ticket. per ticket. Peveryone Profit = $
With regard to market structure, answer the following: (a) A monopolist never produces in the inelastic portion of its demand curve. True or false? Why? (b) Draw a figure showing a monopolist producing at the lowest point on its long-run average cost curve. (c) What is third degree price discrimination? Why does a monopolist practice it? What are the conditions are necessary for the monopolist to be able to practice it? Give a real-world example of third degree price discrimination? (c) If the price elasticity of demand is -3 in market 1 and -2 in market 2 and the price in market 1 is $12, what price should a monopolist practicing third degree price discrimination set in market 2?
Which of the following best explains why the monopolist’s marginal revenue is less than the sales price?A) To sell more units, the monopolist must increase the price on all units sold.B) As the monopolist expands output, its total revenue always will decline.C) When the monopolist reduces price in order to sell more units, it must lower the price of units that could otherwise have been sold at a higher price.D) When a firm has a monopoly, consumers have no choice other than to pay the price set by the monopolist.
Please answer questions 4 through 7.
Consider a monopolist with the following demand curve. Price: 24, 22 , 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6 Quantity Demanded: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 [All answers are integers with no units.] 1.If this firm has a marginal cost of $12 per unit, how many will they produce? 2.What will their profit be? 3.What will consumer surplus be? (Rectangle method!) 4.What is the efficient quantity?
Which of the following statements is true? Group of answer choices A monopolist's profit maximizing output is when marginal revenue = marginal cost A monopolist's perceived demand is less than the marginal revenue A monopolist's marginal revenue is equal to the price
a monopolist finds the demand curve to be linear, containing data points (q,p) of (100,125) and (20,165). a. how many items can he expect to sell, if the price p is $100? b. what price should he charge to maximize the revenue?
The profit-maximizing quantity of a monopolist facing a downward-sloping demand curve must be produced at a point where the demand is elastic (meaning the demand elasticity with respect to price e < -1). True or false? Why?
A monopolist has four distinct groups of customers: group A has an elasticity of demand of 0.2, group B has an elasticity of demand of 0.8, group C has an elasticity of demand of 1.0, and group D has an elasticity of demand of 2.0. The group paying the highest price for the product will be group: a) D. b) C. c) B. d) A.

1. A firm faces the following inverse demand curve: P = 500 - 0.25Q Where: Q is the monthly production P is price, measured in dollars per unit. The firm also has a total cost (TC) function of: TC = 200Q. Assuming the firm maximizes profits, answer the following: a) Assuming the firm operates as a monopolist, calculate the following: price, quantity, and profit. Graph and show the equilibrium price and quantity. b) Assuming perfect competition, what are price, quantity and profit? Show on the graph from above.
