A monopolist is producing an output and charging a price that maximizes its profit when it is unexpectedly confronted with an increase in its fixed costs. In response, a profit-maximizing monopolist will: Raise price to recover a portion of the higher fixed cost Continue to produce the same level of output and make no price change Lower price to ell enough units to cover the higher fixed cost Either raise or lower price depending on the price elasticity of demand.
A monopolist is operating in two separate markets. The inverse demand functions for the two markets areP1 = 35 – 2.5Q1 and P2 = 30 – 2Q2. The monopolist’s total cost function is TC(Q) = 8 + 5(Q1 + Q2). The monopolistcan price discriminate. What kind of price discrimination is relevant here? What is the profit-maximizing price ineach market? What is the monopolist’s profit?
A city in a developing country does not have a provider of water and sanitation services, leading to poor health outcomes for its citizens. A firm is considering entering that market. The cost curve is C(q) = 10+2q, and the inverse demand is P(q) = 10—q. The government of that city knows that, because of the high fixed cost to operate in this market, any entrant is likely to become a monopolist. Thus, they decide to implement the following regulation: the firm is not allowed to choose a price above an upper limit of p (which the government chooses and sets in the law before the firm decides to enter). There will be no transfers between the government and the firm. Assume that the firm only enters the market if it can get profits of at least zero, given the government's choice of p. Suppose that the government's goal is to maximize consumer surplus. Which of the following statements is the most correct? (a) The government needs to set p = 2, because it's the marginal cost. That…
Suppose that a unique technology is developed that allowed for the production of lightsabers. The inspired entrepreneur (let's say, Lucas George) who developed the technology immediately slaps a patent on the design and hoards kyber crystals (necessary input). Demand and production costs are given below: P(Q) = 14,000 - 600Q C(Q) = 3,000 + 100² 1. How much profit does Lucas the monopolist earn? 2. Solve for the market failure of Lucas operating as a monopolist relative to what would be observed if Lucas operated as a competitive firm. Martin the Martian (not to be confused with any other martian that might be copyrighted...) observes the profits being made by Lucas. Determining that ray guns are not that different from lightsabers, Martin begins competing with Lucas: P'(Q) = 12,000 - 600Q' 3. A third potential business owner, Dr. When, has watched this market carefully and is trying to decide whether or not to market her Sonic Screwdriver (a near-substitute). Based on your previous…
A wholesaler (upstream firm) sells a product to a retailer (downstream firm). Both the wholesaler and the retailer are monopolists. The wholesaler faces a constant marginal cost of $2 and charges the retailer a wholesale price w. The retailer resells the product to final consumers at price P and the wholesale price w is its only cost. The demand for the good is P = 12 - Q. For your calculations below, assume that both the P and w are measured in dollars per unit. Hint: The retailer's profit function is π = (Pw)Q. a Find the profit-maximizing retail and wholesale prices and quantities.

A monopolist has a constant marginal cost of £2 per unit and no fixed costs. He faces two separate markets in the United States and in the UK. The goods sold in one market are never resold in the other. He sets one price P1 for the US market and another price P2 for the UK market (both measured in £). The demand in the United States is given by Q1=7,000-700P1 and the demand in the UK is given by Q2=1,200-200P2. Calculate the profit maximising output produced and price charged in each country by the price-discriminating monopolist and comment in which country the price charged is higher and by how much.
A profit maximizing monopolist has a cost function C (q) = q,where q > 0 denotes the amount produced, and faces the aggregate demand curve q = 100/p² where p > 0 denotes the price per unit in the market. Assume that the monopolist chooses an optimal price in the range p E [1, 3]. The optimal price the monopolist would set up is while the Lerner index is_ Blank # 1 Blank # 2
Q4-11: Suppose we have a monopolist supplying two different markets. The demand in these markets is given by two types of consumers, each buying exactly one unit of the product a monopolist is selling so long as their consumer surplus is non-negative. If the consumer has a choice, she or he will buy the product that gives them the highest consumer surplus. the monopolist has estimated the indirect utility (CS) of each type of consumer as V₁ = 7z₁ - P₁ V₂ = 222 - P2 == where = {1,2} is the quality chosen by the monopolist i.e. vertical differentiation. The monopolist does not know each consumer's type. There are 397 type one consumers and 107 type two consumers. Finally suppose the marginal cost for all quantities is given by e(z) = 2. Q4-1: What are the lowest qualities type 1 and 2 consumers will demand. Q4- 3: What are the incentive compatibility constraints for type 1 and 2 Q4-4: The monopolist has three options: ■Sell only to high type consumers ■ Sell to both consumers the same…

Suppose that a Monopolist is attempting to pioneer the market for a new good. This product is unique enough that there are no close substitutes, and there is no threat of entry. The monopolist anticipates facing the demand function P=80-Q. The monopolist has a fixed cost of 900 and a total variable cost of VC=10Q and marginal cost of MC=10. Suppose the firm considers setting a uniform price to maximize its profit. Will the firm be profitable? Now suppose that the realized demand is lower than the firm anticipated: P=60-Q. Is the firm profitable? Continue to assume that the demand curve is P=60-Q. Fans of the product worry that the firm might go under, and to help save it every consumer agrees to pay his willingness to pay for each unit of output. Is perfect first degree price discrimination enough to save the firm (is the firm profitable under first-degree price discrimination)? Continue to assume that the demand curve is P= 60-Q. Suppose the new good is a Golf Course (so units of…
