Knoebel's Amusement park is a free entrance park that charges per ride. Suppose that there are two types of visitors to Knoebel's, senior citizens and teenagers. Their demand curves are given by: Seniors: P=4-qs Teenagers: P=5-qt Combined: P=4.5-0.5q Suppose once the rides are built there are no additional costs per ride. Please use this information to answer the following questions. What is the optimal price to charge if Knoebel's does not price discriminate? What is the Total Revenue?
Suppose a monopolist operates in a market with two types of consumers (“high” and “low” types) and offers two types of goods (“high quality” and “low quality”). In general, if the monopolist wants to implement second-degree price discrimination (i.e. to sell the “high quality” good to the “high” type consumer and the “low quality” good to the “low” type consumer), they may have to set the price of the “high quality” good lower than the willingness-to-pay of the “high” type.(a) True. (b) False.
What membership fee would maximize profit for the club? Compared to the profit of a similar but single-price monopoly golf club, how much more profit does Northlands Golf Club make?
There is a monopolist,ConcreteMex,in the concretemarketin Mexico. The demand function is QD= 100–50p. The marginal cost of production isc=0.4. (referencing) Question 1.3 ConcreteMex claimed the high price is due to high transportation costs and persuaded the government to help cut down the costs. As a result, for every unit of concrete sold, the government subsidizes ConcreteMex 0.2dollars. What are the new profit-maximizing price and production levels for ConcreteMex? Under the subsidy policy and the new price in Question 1.3, calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss. You do not need to consider government spending for the deadweight loss.

The diagram below shows a monopolist's marginal cost schedule and the demand curve. Find and depict the following items within the diagram and briefly explain how you found them: Price Monopoly Price Demand Marginal Revenue Total Surplus Quantity Maximising Quantity b) Draw a possible marginal cost curve for the monopolist into the diagram that is consistent with all the other curves that are already given. c) Based on the marginal cost curve that you constructed in part (b), find and highlight the monopolist's total costs at the monopoly price in the diagram. d) Briefly explain the shape of the marginal revenue curve as compared to the demand curve in the diagram.
Suppose a monopolist faces a market demand that is the first two columns in the table below. Also, in the short run, assume that Total Fixed Cost equals $100 and the monopolist has Total Variable Cost according to the table. Find Total Revenue for each price and quantity combination, and then Marginal Revenue as price falls and quantity increases. Fill in the rest of the costs in the table and find profit at each price and quantity combination as the difference between Total Revenue and Total Cost. If profit is less than zero that indicates a loss. What is the maximum profit you found in this table? At what quantity and price combination is profit maximized for this monopolist? Next, verify this result by using Marginal Analysis to find the profit maximizing price and quantity combination. For each quantity, ask yourself if Marginal Revenue exceeds Marginal Cost. If it does, then profits would be increased by producing that quantity. As you go down the table to higher quantities, stop…
Suppose a nonlinear price discriminating monopolist faces an inverse demand curve: P = 110-Q, and can set three prices depending on the quantity a consumer purchases. The firm's profit is: π = P₁ Q₁ + P₂ (Q₂ −Q₁) + P3 (Q3 − Q₂) - mQ3, where p₁ is the high price charged on the first units Q₁ (first block) and P2 is a lower price charged on the next (Q₂ -Q₁) units and p3 is the lowest price charged on the (Q3 - Q₂) remaining units. Q3 is the total number of units actually purchased, and m = 75 is the firm's constant marginal and average cost. Using calculus, determine the profit-maximizing values for P₁, P2, and p3, and the firm's profits. The profit-maximizing value for (round your answers to the nearest penny) P₁ P₂ = $ P3 = $ The firm's profit is $ 9 and
Based on market research, a film production company in Ectenia obtains the following information about the demand and production costs of its new DVD: Demand: P= 1,200 - 10Q Total Revenue: TR = 1,2000 - 10Q Marginal Revenue: MR 1,200 - 200 Marginal Cost: MC = 300 + 100 where Q indicates the number of copies sold and Pis the price in Ectenian dollars. Complete the following table by finding the price and quantity that maximize the company's profit and the price and quantity that maximize social weifare. Price Quantity Scenario (Dollars) (DVDs) Maximizes the company's profit Maximizes social weifare The deadweight loss from the monopoly is S Suppose, in addition to the foregoing costs, the director of the fim has to be paid. The company is considering four options:
You are the manager of a monopolist that produces women shoes and faces a random marginal cost. The demand for women shoes is O = 1000 - 0.1P Marginal cost can be constant at either $60 with a probability of 50% or $40 with a probability of probability of 50%. Draw a graph and plot the demand for shoes. Derive the marginal revenue curve and plot it on the graph. Find the price and output that maximize profits. Find the firm's profits.
A monopolist is selling a product with a linear demand curve with a vertical intercept of P=10 dollars (a price above which no one will buy the product) and a horizontal intercept of 20 thousand (the amount people would consume of the product were free). The product has zero marginal cost of zero (e.g., downloadable software). The profit-maximizing monopolist will set a price equal to dollars, produce and sell a quantity of thousand units, and will earn revenue of thousand dollars.
