ssume there is no price discrimination: Matthew, Rachel, Janice, and Mandy own the only ice company in town (they have a monopoly on the ice market). Matthew wants to sell as much ice as possible without losing money. Rachel wants the ice company to bring in as much revenue as possible. Janice wants to maximize total surplus and Many wants to make the largest possible profit. Use ONE clearly-labelled graph of the ice company’s marginal revenue, demand, and cost curves to show the price and quantity (i.e., ice) each person desires. Provide explanation.
From our textbook and in your own words, define what a monopoly is. In your response, address the following: What are some disadvantages and advantages of a monopoly compared to brand competition? Is there a trend toward consolidation in some markets, and if so, what does that mean to you, the consumer? What is better for you, the consumer, monopoly, or brand competition? Please use current research in your response. Here are some ideas that might help you get started. Ninety-two percent of the prescription drugs sold in the United States come from just three wholesalers. Coke owns over 200 brands, including names like Schweppes, Dr. Pepper, Fanta, and Powerade. Nestle owns over 2,000 brands. Hospital consolidation has.
what is the profit from perfect price discrimination?
What is the value of producer surplus? What is the value of deadweight loss? Assume that the firm is a monopoly with perfect price discrimination. What is its profit?
Suppose that Intel has a monopoly in the market for computer chips. In order to produce X computer chips, it costs Intel C(X) = 2X2. (i) Find the marginal cost of producing a computer chip for Intel. ii) The demand for computer chips is X =12 − 0.25P. Find the level of output that maximizes Intel’s profits. What price is Intel charging?
For a monopoly, marginal revenue is less than price because? the demand for the firm's output is perfectly elastic. the firm can sell all of its output at any price. the demand for the firm's output is downward sloping. the firm has no supply curve.
You have been granted a monopoly in the avocado market. The market demand for avocados is Q = 2000 – 2P. Your cost structure is such that your total costs are TC = 1000+ 400Q. (limit: whatever needed) What is your profit maximizing price and quantity? Explain this in words and show it graphically. What are the profit, producer surplus and consumer surplus? The government is thinking about breaking your monopoly into ten identical firms and giving ownership to 10 random people. Correspondingly, each firm would have a fixed cost of $1000 and a marginal production cost of $400 per unit. In this perfectly competitive environment, what would be the equilibrium price and quantity? Explain this in words and show it graphically. What are the profit per firm, producer surplus and consumer surplus that correspond to your answer to part d)? How much would you be willing to pay to keep the government from taking your monopoly away? Explain.

Graphically show a monopoly firm that currently sells 250 units of output at a price of $60/unit, where the marginal revenue of the 250th unit is $40, the marginal cost of the 250th unit is $50, and the average total cost at 250 units is $60. [Hint: Based on the information given, is the quantity you’re asked to show the profit-maximizing quantity? Think about what has to be true for profit-maximization.] Based on the graph and assuming the firm attempts to profit maximize (and succeeds), what would happen to price, quantity, MR, MC, and ATC? (rise, fall, or stay the same?)

How do you find the profit maximizing PRICE (not level of output) on a graph for a monopoly with demand, marginal revenue, marginal cost, and average total cost curves. Group of answer choices Find the minimum point on the ATC curve and go straight over to the price axis. Find the point where MR = MC and go straight over to the price axis. Find the point where MR = MC, go straight up until you hit the demand curve, and then go straight over to the price axis. Find the point where demand hits marginal cost and go straight over to the price axis.
