Suppose a monopoly firm has the following Cost and Demand functions: TC=Q2 P=80-Q MC=2Q MR=80-2Q Carefully explain what the firm is doing and why. Find the firm’s Profit maximizing Q Find the firm’s Profit maximizing P. Find the firm’s Profit. Suppose because of an advertising campaign, which costs $500, the monopoly’s demand curve is: P=100-Q so its MR= 100-2Q. MC=2Q Looking closely at the TC function and the demand curve, explain the effects of the advertising campaign on the equations compared with the equations above in part 1. Find the firm’s Profit maximizing Q Find the firm’s Profit maximizing P. Find the firm’s Profit. Was the advertising campaign successful? Compare 2 w/ 1. Why?
The demand a monopoly faces is p = 400 - Q+A 0.5 where Q is its quantity, p is its price, and A is the level of advertising. Its marginal cost of production is $40, and its cost of a unit of advertising is $1. What is the firm's profit equation? The monopoly's profit equation (л) as a function of Q and A is π= (400-Q+A05) Q-40Q-A. (Properly format your expression using the tools in the palette. Hover over tools to see keyboard shortcuts. E.g., a superscript can be created with the ^ character.) The monopoly's profit-maximizing price is p = $270, quantity is Q = 260, and advertising is A = 16900. (Enter numeric responses using real numbers rounded to two decimal places.)
Suppose a monopoly firm with a constant marginal cost 10 faces an inverse linear demand function p= 50 - Q. What would be the profit-maximizing price and quantity if its marginal cost doubles?
Suppose a monopoly firm with a constant marginal cost 10 faces an inverse linear demand function p = 50 - Q. What would be the profit-maximizing price and quantity if its marginal cost doubles? How does it compare to the outcome with original cost?
Market research shows that a particular monopolist faces a market demand function given byIts cost function isP （Q） = 50 - 2Q.C（Q）= 47 + 10Q What is the monopoly market price and quantity? What is the monopolist’s profit? What is consumer surplus at the monopoly price? What would the price and quantity be in this market be if the monopolist behaved as in perfect competition? What is the consumer surplus in the case of perfect competition? Which is higher and why? What is the “social cost” of monopoly?
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!
If a monopoly faces an inverse demand curve of p=330-Q, has a constant marginal and average cost of $90, and can perfectly price discriminate, what is its profit? What are the consumer surplus, welfare, and deadweight loss? How would these results change if the firm were a single-price monopoly? Profit from perfect price discrimination () is $ 28800. (Enter your response as a whole number.) Corresponding consumer surplus is (enter your response as whole numbers): welfare is and deadweight loss is CS=$ W = $ DWL = $ A
Suppose you are the owner of a firm that is an unregulated monopoly. You find that your marginal cost curve is: MC = 40 + 3Q where MC is dollar marginal cost and Q is output. Suppose also that the demand curve for your product is P = 100 - Q where P is product price and Q is output. If you want to maximize profit, what Q should you choose? Please show work.
The market demand for a monopoly is given by P = 90 – 2Q, where Q is the number of the product demanded at price P. The total cost function is given by TC = 90 + 20Q +0.5Q2. a) If the firm is a single-price monopoly, what are the equilibrium quantity and price? What are the resultant consumer surplus, producer surplus and social welfare? b) If the government forced the firm to behave as if it were a perfect competitor, what are the equilibrium quantity and price? What are the resultant consumer surplus, producer surplus and social welfare? c) How much does social welfare increase when the firm moves from monopoly to competition?
If a monopoly faces an inverse demand curve of p=210-Q, has a constant marginal and average cost of $30, and can perfectly price discriminate, what is its profit?

This problem is about a monopoly. Let a monopolist's inverse demand function be given by p = 100 – 0.0002q which generates a marginal revenue function of MR = 100 – 0.0004q Let Total Cost be given by TC = 100 + 28q – 0.005q? + 0.0000011q3 Which has marginal cost of MC = 28 – 0.01q + 0.0000031q? This monopolist maximizes profit at q* = 6610.33 (to the nearest penny). %3D For this problem find the following: ) Show that the profit maximizing output level is 6610.33 (to the nearest penny) ) Find the price at the profit maximizing output level. ) The cost per unit at the profit maximizing output level. ) Profit per unit at the profit maximizing output level. ) The total profit (or loss) at the profit maximizing output level.
Suppose a monopoly has marginal cost function MC = 0 and therefore only cares about maximizing total revenue. Then, at the revenue-maximizing price and quantity, the price elasticity of market demand has a value of _________. (Hint: This has to be a negative number.)
