An unregulated natural monopoly bottles Mt. McKinley air, unique clean air that has no substitutes. The monopoly's total fixed cost is $30,000 a year and its marginal cost is 10 cents a can. The graph illustrates the demand for Mt. McKinley air. Draw the average total cost curve. Plot the four control points at the quantities 100,000, 200,000, 300,000, and 400,000. Label the curve. Draw a point at the new quantity and price if the regulator sets a price cap such that the monopoly breaks even. The number of cans produced sold its marginal cost.

A monopoly sellsits good in the United States, where the elasticity of demand is -2.5, and in Japan, where the elasticity of demand is -5.4. Its marginal cost is $50. At what price does the monopoly sell its good in each country if resales are impossible? The price in the United States is $ (Round your answer to the nearest peniny) The price in Japan is $ (Round your answer to the nearest penny)
Draw a graph with linear demand and marginal curves and a horizontal MC curve. Find the monopolist’s profit-maximizing price (P*) and output (Q*). Now change the demand curve by rotating it clockwise (making it steeper) through the point (Q*, P*). What is the new profit-maximizing price and quantity? Is price higher or lower? Relate your answer to the fact that a monopolist does not have a supply curve

Homework Unanswered A monopoly is producing where marginal cost is $10,000 and marginal revenue is $15,000 in an industry where demand is above the average cost. Place the following actions in order to describe the steps the monopoly would take to maximize its profits. Drag and drop options into correct order and submit. For keyboard navigation... SHOW MORE III = E The firm realizes that as it increase production, total revenue will go up by more than cost increases. III = ||| The quantity produced will be larger than at the beginning and the price will be lower. = The monopoly will produce more units up to the point where marginal cost equals marginal revenue. The monopoly will make positive economic profits at the new price and quantity. As they increase quantity price is determined by the demand curve. There will be a surplus if the price is too high. Unanswered Submit
Suppose a monopoly is producing at its profit-maximising (loss-minimizing) quantity, and the price corresponding to this quantity is below average total cost but above average variable cost. The monopoly will shut down in the short run but return to production in the long run shut down in the short run and exit the market in the long run keep producing both in the short run and in the long run keep producing in the short run but exit the market in the long run None of the above.
I will rate and like, thank you! Easy economics question. Create graph that includes: Demand curve, marginal cost, and marginal revenue. Identify the profit-maximizing quantity and price for this monopolist. To do this you will need to determine marginal revenue at each level of output. Choose output that satisfies the monopolist’s profit maximizing condition of MR = MC. Does this firm earn a profit? How much profit if they do?
Use the following demand schedule for a pure monopolist to calculate total revenue and marginal revenue at each quantity. Plot the monopolist’s demand curve and marginal-revenue curve, and explain the relationships between them. Explain why the marginal revenue of the fourth unit of output is $3.50, even though its price is $5. What generalization can you make as to the relationship between the monopolist’s demand and its marginal revenue? Suppose the marginal cost of successive units of output was zero. What output would the single-price monopolist produce, and what price would it charge?
