1. A firm faces the following inverse demand curve: P = 500 - 0.25Q Where: Q is the monthly production P is price, measured in dollars per unit. The firm also has a total cost (TC) function of: TC = 200Q. Assuming the firm maximizes profits, answer the following: a) Assuming the firm operates as a monopolist, calculate the following: price, quantity, and profit. Graph and show the equilibrium price and quantity. b) Assuming perfect competition, what are price, quantity and profit? Show on the graph from above.
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? Next, verify this result by using Marginal Analysis to find the profit maximizing price and quantity combination. For each quantity, ask yourself if Marginal Revenue exceeds Marginal Cost. If it does, then profits would be increased by producing that quantity. As you go down the table to higher quantities, stop…

A monopolist serves a market with five potential buyers, each of whom would buy at most one piece of the monopolist's good. Anna would be willing to pay up to £80 for it, Bob up to £90, Chloe up to £100, Dave up to £110 and Elizabeth up to £120. The monopolist's variable cost function is given in below table.

A monopolist can produce at constant average total and marginal cost of ATC = MC = $20. (Constant ATC = MC implies that there are no fixed costs.) The firm faces a market demand curve given by QD = 40 - P. The monopolist's marginal revenue curve is given by MR = 40 - 2QD. Graph this situation, then calculate the monopolist's profit-maximizing price-quantity and the monopolist's profits. What output level would be produced by a corresponding perfectly competitive industry? What would be the price level? Calculate the "deadweight losses" from monopolization of the industry. Show the DWL on the graph.
A Monopolist has the following demand, marginal revenue, and marginal cost: p = 100 – 5q mr = 100 – 25q mc = 25 How much higher will the monopoly price be than the perfectly competitive price?

Assume a monopolist faces the demand schedule given below and a constant marginal cost of $2 for each unit of output. From the graph, what would the total marginal revenue and total revenue be?How would you get total marginal revenue and total revenue?
