Q14 Monopolists, like firms in other market structure, strive to maximize profit. Microsoft when it first came out with its Windows operating system was thought to be a monopolist. Assume that Microsoft is a monopolist and calculates that at its present output level, marginal cost is $5.50 and marginal revenue is $4.50. Microsoft could increase profits by Multiple Choice decreasing output and leaving price unchanged. increasing price and decreasing output. decreasing price and increasing output. leaving both quatity and price unchanged. decreasing price and leaving output unchanged.

Tangy Tangerines is a monopolistic firm in the market for tangerines. The following equations describe the demand for, and the cost of producing tangerines, where Q is output measured in thousand pounds, and P is price per pound. Demand: P 59-3Q Marginal Cost: MC = 3 + Q Total Cost: TC = 4 + 3Q+0.50² The monopolist will charge what price and earn what profit? Price $35 and Profit-$220 thousand. Price $19 and Profit $53 thousand. * Price $8 and Profit=$220 thousand. Price $19 and Profit= $14 thousand.
