This profit-maximizing firm will produce Blank 1 units. What price will this profit-maximizing firm charge? $Blank 2 (Do NOT enter the '$' in your response. Enter only the whole dollar amount; do NOT enter cents.) If the industry was perfectly competitive instead of monopolistic, then market output would be Blank 3 units and market price would be $Blank 4. (Do NOT enter the '$' in your response. Enter only the whole dollar amount; do NOT enter cents.)
Suppose the monopolistically competitive firm is charging a price equal to average total cost. The the monopolistically competitive firm should Question 4 options: a) increase its output b) decrease its output c) is operating in the long run d) can expect new firms to enter
Tangy Tangerines is a monopolistic firm in the market for tangerines. The following equations describe the demand for, and the cost of producing tangerines, where Q is output measured in thousand pounds, and P is price per pound. Demand: P 59-3Q Marginal Cost: MC = 3 + Q Total Cost: TC = 4 + 3Q+0.50² The monopolist will charge what price and earn what profit? Price $35 and Profit-$220 thousand. Price $19 and Profit $53 thousand. * Price $8 and Profit=$220 thousand. Price $19 and Profit= $14 thousand.
Billy Bob's is catering to Baruch College and there are two types of customers: faculty and students. There are 40 faculty members willing to pay $30 per meal while there are 660 students willing to pay $5 per meal. There are 700 meals available at the catering event. Suppose the total cost of catering the event, including the meals, is $2,000. How much profit will Billy Bob's earn if they can perfectly price discriminate? $1,300 $3,500 $4,500 $2,500

You are the manager of a monopoly. Your analytics department estimates that a typical consumer's inverse demand function for your firm's product is P = 350-20Q, and your cost function is C(Q) = 70Q. a. Determine the optimal two - part pricing strategy. Per-unit fee: $ Fixed fee: $ b. How much additional profit do you earn using a two-part pricing strategy compared with charging this consumer a per- unit price? $

Monopolistic Competition Consider the folowing graph, (graph 1) for the short run equilibrium for a monopolisticaily competitive firm producing printers for commercial operations. Graph1 $ Price per unit P1 ATC MC P2 Pa D3 D2 D3 Q2 Qu Q3 Quantity MR2 MR. The following information is given: D1 = $35,000- $15Q TC = $550,000+ $1,000Q+ $10Q? Answer the following and referring to the relevant elements of graph 1 above and show all workings. (a) Calculate price output and profit for the short run equilibrium (show all workings). (b) Calculate price, output and profit for the long run equilibrium (with and without product differentiation) (show all workings). (c) Is the market allocatively efficient in the short run or long run (why or why not?). (d) Is the market productively efficient in the short run or long run (why or why not?).
(a) Consider a monopoly trading firm that dominates a particular market. Describe the factors that contribute to the monopoly's ability to control prices and generate profits and as such discuss its short run and long run profit situation. Use relevant diagrams to support your answer.(b) Suppose more firms are interested in joining the market and over the years, the market structure is characterised by monopolistic competition. Discuss the implication on the firm's short-run and long run profits. Use relevant diagrams to support your answer.
If a firm sets its output in the short run such that marginal revenue, marginal cost and average total cost are equal, then profits are the firm is monopolistically competitive. if the firm is perfectly competitive and profits are if zero; positive zero ; zero positive ; zero positive ; positive
For a monopolistically competitive firm in long-run equilibrium, Question 50 options: the demand curve must intersect the average total cost curve at the ATC curve minimum. the demand curve must be tangent to the average total cost curve at the ATC curve minimum. at the profit-maximizing quantity, the demand curve must intersect the average total cost curve. at the profit - maximizing quantity, the demand curve must be tangent to the average total cost curve.
