Assume you were provided the following information for a monopolist: Inverse Demand Function: P = 100 - 2Q Total Cost Function: TC = 10 + 2Q The monopolist has a constant marginal cost of $2. What is the profit maximizing level of output?
A single price monopolist has a cost function of c(Q) = 10 + Q, where Q is output. It faces the following demand curve: Q°(p) = 0, if p > 24 and Q°(p) = 120/p, if p s 24. What is the profit-maximizing choice of output? The profit maximizing choice of output is = At this optimum level of output, calculate the consumer surplus. In addition, by drawing a graph, show the area representing the producer surplus (label it by PS) and the area representing the deadweight loss (label it by DWL). Calculate the values of producer surplus and deadweight loss.

Question 27 Consider a monopoly market in which the market demand curve is given by P = 240 – 2Q, the marginal revenue curve is MR = 240 – 4Q, the marginal cost curve is MC = 2Q, and there are zero fixed costs. Suppose the government intervenes and turns the market into a competitive market, and all the firms in the market have the same marginal cost curve as the monopolist, MC = 2Q, and zero fixed costs. How much is the resulting gain in total surplus? 300 800 400 600

Suppose a monopolist faces two groups of consumers. Group 1 has a demand given by P1=50−2Q1�1=50−2�1 and MR1=50−4Q1��1=50−4�1. Group 2 has a demand given by P2=40−Q2�2=40−�2 and MR2=40−2Q2��2=40−2�2. The monopolist faces a constant marginal cost equal to MC=10��=10.If the monopolist is allowed to engage in 3rd degree price discrimination, how many units of output will the monopolist sell? Question 12Answer a. 25 b. 10 c. 15 d. 20
A monopolist faces two markets with demand functions given by q1 = 120 − p1 q2 = 120 − 2p2 The monopolist has no fixed costs of production, and the marginal cost of production is $10. Suppose the monopolist charges the price $80 per unit of output. What is the market demand at this price? Suppose that the monopolist charges different prices per unit of output in the two markets. How much output is produced? What are the prices? What is the monopolist’s profit?
Suppose that a monopolist has a constant marginal cost curve. That is, for each unit of output that the monopolist produces, it costs an additional $30. The monopolist's marginal revenue is MR=120−6Q, where Q is the quantity produced. The demand curve is P=120−3Q. What is the monopolist's profit-maximizing output and price?
Suppose that a monopolist’s demand curve is P = 9 – 2*Q. Marginal cost is expressed as follows: MC = 0.5*Q. What is the profit-maximizing price (P) the monopoly should set? What would be the output (Q) at that price? What are the current values for the consumer and producer surpluses (CS and PS)? Is it possible to calculate the profit made by the monopolist? If so, how much is it? If not, what other information would be needed to do that? What would be the 2 key options for a government regulator to increase the consumer surplus (CS) and reduce the producer surplus (PS)? Explain briefly the pros and cons of one of the options!
A monopolist faces two markets (think of it as a domestic market and a foreign market). The demand functions of the two markets are respectively: Q 1 =100 - P 1 ; Q 2 =180 - P 2 The cost function of the monopoly firm is: TC = 40Q. Q1: If this firm charges a uniform price, what price should maximize its profit? What is the total profit? Q2: If this firm charges a Third Degree Price Discrimination, what is the equilibrium price for each market in order to maximize profits? And what is the profit of each market and the total profit?
Suppose a monopolist faces a market demand that is the first two columns in the table below. Also, in the short run, assume that Total Fixed Cost equals $100 and the monopolist has Total Variable Cost according to the table. Find Total Revenue for each price and quantity combination, and then Marginal Revenue as price falls and quantity increases. Fill in the rest of the costs in the table and find profit at each price and quantity combination as the difference between Total Revenue and Total Cost. If profit is less than zero that indicates a loss. What is the maximum profit you found in this table? At what quantity and price combination is profit maximized for this monopolist?
