Price and cost MO 120 Township is a small, isolated community served by one newspaper that can meet the market demand at a lower cost than two or more newspapers could. The Township Gazette is the only source of news. The graph shows the marginal cost of printing the Township Gazette and the market demand for it. The Township Gazette is a profit-maximizing, single-price monopoly. What is the efficient number of copies of the Township Gazette and what is the price at which the efficient number of copies could be sold? 100- The efficient number of copies of the Township Gazette is and the price at which this number could be sold is cents a copy.

The Private Express Statutes, passed in 1792 and (in amended form) still in effect today, contain federal civil and criminal laws relating to the delivery of mail.

Suppose a monopoly has a cost curve equal to C 6400+100Q. The firm's demand curve is p 500-4Q. (Round all numeric responsos to two docimal places.) What is the monopoly's unregulated profit-maximizing quantily? . What is the unregulated profit-maximizing price? $ What is the monopoly's profit? $ What would be the deadweight loss? S
The demand function for a monopolist is given by x =100 – 4p, where x is the number of units of product produced and sold and p is the price per unit. Find : (1) total revenue function (ii) average revenue function (ii) marginal revenue func- tion and (iv) price and quantity at which MR = 0. 7. A firm knows that the demand function for one of its products is linear. It also knows that it can sell 1000 units when the price is Rs.4 per unit and it can sell 1500 units when the price is Rs.2 per unit. Determine : (i) the demand function (ii) the total revenue function (iii) the average revenue function (iv) the marginal revenue function. 6.
