- In British Columbia, Canada a company named after Tim Hortons runs a monopoly on a sweet snack called Timbits! Suppose the demand for Timbits is P=90-Q and the cost function is C-Q How much would the consumer surplus, producer surplus and DWL be in case Tim Hortons a single-price monopoly? Suppose Tim Hortons could install a device in its premises that could immediately 11) predict the willingness to pay of every unsuspecting customer entering its franchise premises and charge them that corresponding amount! Additionally, suppose they could also stop resale of products, and thus become a first degree price discriminatıng monopoly. How much would the consumer surplus, producer surplus and DWL be in this case?Assume that we are in a monopoly and demand curve is given by following expression:p(q) = 45 - q2And further it is known that marginal cost (MC) is given by:MC(q) = 6 + (q2/4)Under assumption that utility is maximized, answer:(a) Calculate marginal revenue (MR) and equilibrium point of monopoly. Graphb) Calculate consumer surplus (CS). Show it on the graphNOTE: remember that functions ARE NOT LINEAR. Consumer surplus is calculated as (see attached image)Give typed explanation
- Consider the relationship between monopoly pricing and the price elasticity of demand. If demand is inelastic and a monopolist raises its price, quantity would fall by a percentage than the rise in price, causing profit to Therefore, a monopolist will produce a quantity at which the demand curve is elastic. Use the purple segment (diamond symbols) to indicate the portion of the demand curve that is inelastic. (Hint: The answer is related to the marginal- revenue (MR) curve.) Then use the black point (plus symbol) to show the quantity and price that maximizes total revenue (TR).

This company has total costs TC = 0.25Q2 + 30Q + 70. (Hint: using calculus, this means MC = 0.5Q+ 30since MC is the derivative of TC with respect to output.) The demand in the community is approximated by the equationQd = 60- P/2(alternatively, you can write the demand equation as Qd = 60–0.5P). Graphically depict the demand curve as well as the marginal cost (MC) curve. If the cable company is free to choose its own pricePm and quantityQm, graphically depictthe monopoly equilibrium price and quantity. Add any other curve(s) to your diagram that may be required to obtain this outcome. Compute and state the exact monopolist equilibrium pricePm and quantityQm that you depicted graphically.If a monopoly faces an inverse demand curve of p=450-Q, has a constant marginal and average cost of $30, and can perfectly price discriminate, what is its profit?

- A nightclub manager realizes that demand for drinks is more elastic among students, and is trying to determine the optimal pricing schedule. Specififically, he estimates the following average demands: • Under 25: qr= 18 − 5p • Over 25: q = 10 − 2p The two age groups visit the nightclub in equal numbers on average. Assume that drinks cost the nightclub $2 each. (a) If the market cannot be segmented, what is the uniform monopoly price? (b) If the nightclub can charge according to whether or not the customer is a student but is limited to linear pricing, what price (per drink) should be set for each group? (c) If the nightclub can set a separate cover charge and price per drink for each group, what two-part pricing schemes should it choose? (d) Now suppose that it is impossible to distinguish between types. If the nightclub lowered drink prices to $2 and still wanted to attract both types of consumers, what cover charge would it set? (e) Suppose that the nightclub again restricts itself…Consider a monopoly with a constant marginal cost of 10 that faces the following inverse demand function from senior citizens: PS = 50 − 2QS The monopoly also faces the following inverse demand function for all other customers: PO = 35 −Q0 a) List and explain the three conditions that must be satisfied for a firm to be able to price discriminate. b) Solve for the monopoly’s profit maximizing price and output levels assuming that they can price discriminate. c) In this example, who benefits and who loses from price discrimination? Be sure to explain/justify your answer.The market demand function for Pierogi in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania has a constant elasticity of -3. More precisely the actual daily demand was estimated to be Q=34560p3, where p is the price per pound. Each pound costs c-$8 to produce. Pittsburgh is served by a local monopoly producer. Compute the monopoly's profit-maximizing price and the monopoly's profit level. Show your computations.
