The monopolist faces the demand curve D(p) = 100 – 2p. Its cost function is c(y) = 2y. What is your optimal level of production and prices? Solve mathematically and graph
Consider that a monopolist produces camouflage backpacks, has fixed costs of 2000 and marginal cost of $2.00. It has a demand curve of: P=20-3Q and Marginal revenue curve is Img=20-6Qa) Calculate the volume of production that will maximize the benefits of the monopolist Img=CMgb) Calculate at what price the monopolist will sell the backpacks P=20-3Qc) Draw the monopolist's marginal revenue and demand curve.
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.

10. Suppose that a monopolist faces a linear demand curve having a vertical intercept of (Q.a) and a horizontal intercept of (b,0). Denote the midpoint on the segment ab by the letter m (i.e., the line segment am is equal in length to the line segment bm). Denote the coordinates at point m by (Q*, P*). Now suppose that you overheard a student in ECON 2450 reason in the following manner: A profit-maximizing monopoly firm that sells all units that it produces at a uniform price. The firm would never produce more than Q* (or alternatively, will never charge a price below P*) since doing so reduce its total revenue as well as increasing its total cost. Even if the cost of production were negligibly small or even zero, the monopolist's profits would fall if it produced more than Q*." Is this argument correct? If so explain why. If not, explain why not.

Suppose a profit-maximizing monopolist has total cost and marginal cost as follow TC = 8Q + 10 and MC = 8. It faces the demand curve P = 20-1/5Q. a) What is the equilibrium price and output?b) What is the total profit?c) Calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss if the firm acts as a monopolist.

Question is in attached image. Thank you! Only answer D,E,F
In the figure provided, a monopolist faces a market demand represented by Q(P), where is the total quantity demanded, and P is the price of the good. The figure also displays Marginal Cost (MC), Average Total Cost (ATC), Average Variable Cost (AVC), and Marginal Revenue (MR) curves. Additionally, P* and Q* represent the short-run equilibrium price and quantity, respectively. Q DMR MC AT C Avc P(Q) Based on the graphical representation, which of the following statements is true? The monopolist realizes a profit in the short run. The monopolist faces a loss in the short run and decides to shut down. The monopolist incurs a loss in the short run but decides to continue operating.
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.
