The demand curve faced by a monopoly firm is given by the function P = 58500- 8.9Q What is the absolute value of the slope of its marginal revenue curve? Note: the absolute value refers to the value of a number after ignoring its sign. For example, the absolute value of -100 is 100. Answer
Assume the following equations describe the conditions for a monopoly: Qd = 2,000 - 100P TC = 3,500 + 5q + .005q2 Where Qd is the quantity demanded, P is the commodity's price in dollars, TC is the firm's total cost in dollars and q is the quantity of output produced. Based upon these equations, answer the following questions: a. What is the firm's equation for total revenue expressed as a function of quantity? b. What is the firm's equation for marginal revenue expressed as a function of quantity? What is the firm's equation for marginal cost expressed as a function of quantity? c. What is the firm's profit maximizing quantity of output? d. What price will the firm charge for the commodity? e. What would be the socially optimal quantity of output? f. What price would regulators have to establish in order to have the firm produce the socially optimal quantity of output?
Suppose the market for asparagus has the following (inverse) market demand schedule: p=88-0.2Q The industry has the following cost structure: MC = ATC = $4 The Amalgamated Asparagus Company is looking to spend factor resources in socially-wasteful legal battles and advertising campaigns to maintain a full monopoly in this market. Answer the following. a. For its monopoly, Amalgamated Asparagus is willing to pay resources worth up to $14070 Suppose that competitive rent-seeking pressures cause Amalgamated Asparagus to pay its maximum willingness-to-pay for monopoly rights. b. Social cost of this monopoly = $ 4410 Hint: Your answer to (a) should be whole number. Think about why.
Scenario 15-3 A monopoly firm maximizes its profit by producing Q = 500 units of output. At that level of output, its marginal revenue is $30, its average revenue is $60, and its average total cost is $34. Refer to Scenario 15-3. At Q=500, the firm's total revenue is a. $13,000. b. $15,000. c. $17,000. d. $30,000. Conteur
1. Asssume the following equations describe the conditions for an unregulated monopoly: Qd = q = 25,000 -100P or P = 250-0.01q TC = 480,000 + 70q + 0.005q2 where Qd is the quantity demanded for the firm, P is the commodity's price in dollars, TC is total cost in dollars, and q is the quantity of output produced. Based upon the above equations, answer the following questions: a. What is the firm's profit maximizing quantity of output? b. What price will the firm charge for the commodity c. What does the firm's total economic profit equal? d. What is the amount of deadweight loss that exists given the monopoly is unregulated? Assume the government is now going to regulate this monopoly, and the regulators want to guarentee the monopolist produces the socially optimal quantity of output. e.

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.
Only typed answer If a monopoly faces an inverse demand curve of p= 210−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 dead weightloss? How would these results change if the firm were a single-price monopoly? Profit from perfect price discrimination (π) is $ _____ (Enter your response as a whole number.)
Below is a representation of the demand curve for diamonds. Assume DeBeers is operating as a monopoly. 1. As a monopolist, what is the total effect of a price change from $2,400 to $1,600 on revenue? Break this change into an increase and a decrease. If you were to do exercise 1 in for every marginal change in price, you would find the marginal revenue curve. The marginal revenue diagram has been provided for the next exercises, along with the marginal costs for DeBeers.
