Place the black point (plus symbol) on the following graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for BYOB. If BYOB is making a profit, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. On the other hand, if BYOB is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade in the area representing the loss. 4.00 3.50 Monopoly Outcome 3.00 2.50 Profit 2.00 АТC 1.50 Loss 1.00 0.50 MC MR 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 QUANTITY (Thousands of cans of beer) PRICE (Dollars per unit)
BYOB is a monopolist in beer production and distribution in the imaginary economy of Hopsville. Suppose that BYOB cannot price discriminate; that is, it sells its beer at the same price per can to all customers. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and demand (D) for beer in this market. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for BYOB. If BYOB is making a profit, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. On the other hand, if BYOB is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade in the area representing its loss. Suppose that BYOB charges $2.50 per can. Your friend Charles says that since BYOB is a monopoly with market power, it should charge a higher price of $3.00 per can because this will increase BYOB’s profit. Complete the following table to determine whether Charles is…
Consider a market with a common demand function given by Q = 100 - 2P, where Q represents quantity and P represents price. The total cost function for firms in this market is TC=1000+ 50². a) For a monopoly, calculate the profit-maximizing price, quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss. b) Compare the monopoly equilibrium to the equilibrium in perfect competition. Calculate the price, quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss under perfect competition. c) Use a single graph to illustrate both the monopoly and perfect competition equilibriums. 4
Draw the demand curve, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves from Figure 9.6, and identify the quantity of output the monopoly wishes to supply and the price it will charge. Suppose demand for the monopoly’s product increases dramatically. Draw the new demand curve. What happens to the marginal revenue as a result of the increase in demand? What happens to the marginal cost curve? Identify the new profit-maximizing quantity and price. Does the answer make sense to you?
Larry holds a monopoly in the market for pies, with no fixed costs and a constant marginal cost of c = 24. Moe, Curly, and Shemp are the three consumers who have the individual demand curvesq1(p) = 30 - p/ 2, q2(p) = 20 - p/ 3, q3(p) = 10 - p/ 6 a) Find the surplus to consumers CSm and producers PSm in the monopoly equilibrium, as well as the deadweight loss DWLm. How much surplus CSmi goes to each consumer? b) Suppose that Larry is a first-degree price discriminator, who charges a different price for each pie consumed. Find the quantity qI as well as the surplus to consumers CSI and producers PSI. How much qIi does each consumer buy and what surplus CSIi does each receive?
Lagatt Green is a monopoly beer producer and distributor operating in the hypothetical economy of Lightington. Assume that Lagatt Green is not able price discriminate and so it sells its beer to all customers at the same price per bottle. The following graph gives the marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and demand (D) curves that Lagatt Green faces for beer in Lightington. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for Lagatt Green. If Lagatt Green is making a profit use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. On the other hand, if Lagatt Green is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade in the area representing its loss PRICE (Dolan per bottle) 400 2.50 2.00 1.50 1.00 050 0 MC 0 ATC AR D 35 QUANTITY(Tands of botes of beer) = Monopoly Outcome Profe Loss
You are the manager of a monopoly. Your analytics department estimates that a typical consumer’s inverse demand function for your firm’s product is P = 400 −20Q, and your cost function is C(Q) = 120Q.a. Determine the optimal two-part pricing strategy. Per-unit fee: $ Fixed fee: $ b. How much additional profit do you earn using a two-part pricing strategy compared with charging this consumer a per-unit price?
You are the manager of a pizzeria that produces at a marginal cost of $6 per pizza. The pizzeria is a local monopoly near campus (there are no other restaurants or food stores within 500 miles). During the day, only students eat at your restaurant. In the evening, while students are studying, faculty members eat there. If students have an elasticity of demand for pizzas of −4 and the faculty has an elasticity of demand of −2, what should your pricing policy be to maximize profits?
For the monopoly represented by the figure to the right, at what quantity is its revenue maximized? (Hint: Revenue is maximize where MR = 0.) Why is revenue maximized at a larger quantity than profit? Show the revenue curve. In the figure to the right, let D be demand and MR be marginal revenue. The quantity at which revenue is maximized is Q = 10 units. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.) Revenue is maximized at a larger quantity than profit because A. costs are decreasing in output. OB. marginal costs can be negative. C. marginal revenue is decreasing in output. OD. D. revenue is greater than profit. OE. profit is decreasing in output. Using the three-point curved line drawing tool, graph the monopoly's revenue curve. Label this curve 'R.'

If the inverse demand curve is p=100-Q and the marginal cost is constant at $10, how does charging the monopoly a specific tax of t= $12 per unit affect the monopoly optimum and the welfare of consumers, the monopoly, and society (where society's welfare includes the tax revenue)? What is the incidence of the tax on consumers? As a result of the tax, the profit-maximizing quantity decreases by 6 units and the profit-maximizing price increases by $6.
