The marginal cost of producing ice cream cones is $1.00. Suppose the Ice Cream Monopoly Company sells to Juan using a two-part tariff with a per-cone price of $1.00. Instructions: Round your answers to 2 decimal places as needed. a. What is the largest fixed fee it can charge Juan and still persuade Juan to make a purchase? $ b. How does its total revenue from Juan under this two-part tariff compare to its total revenue from Juan when it sells Juan 6 ice cream cones, each priced at Juan's willingness to pay for it (on a cone-per-cone basis)? Under this two-part tariff, what is its total profit from Juan? TR = $ Profit = $

How can a monopolist maximize its profits? a.) Produce maximum output where marginal cost and price are equal. b.) Finding the output where MR = MC and producing and charging the price corresponding to that output level on the demand curve. c.) Setting the price at the demand curve's highest point and output where MR = MC. d.) Setting the price level where marginal cost is minimized.
Barbara is a producer in a monopoly industry. Her demand curve and total cost curve are given by Q = 160 - 4P and TC = 4Q. Barbara will produce ✓ units. Barbara will charge a price of Barbara will make a profit of Suppose now the government imposes a tax of 4 dollars on each unit sold. With the tax: Barbara will produce ✓ units. Barbara will receive a price per unit of higher). Barbara will make a profit of In addition to the tax, suppose the government imposes a business levy (a fixed cost) of $500. With this levy: Barbara will produce Barbara will charge a price of Barbara will make a profit of ✓. Note: we're looking for the Barbara receives, not the price consumers pay (which will be ✓ units. ✓. Note: we're looking for the Barbara receives, not the price consumers pay (which will be higher).

Ruth’s Rubies is a single-price monopolist in the market for rubies. Suppose Ruth’s Rubies currently charges $200 for its rubies (i.e. sells 3 rubies). If it lowers the price to $100 (to sell 4 rubies), how large is: The quantity effect? The price effect?

Consider the electricity industry, in which there are very large fixed costs but also in which variable costs are directly proportional to total output so that the marginal cost of each unit produced is small and constant. a) Assuming that one firm has an electricity monopoly, draw a diagram that shows the price the monopolist charges and the quantity the monopolist sells at this price. Be sure to include marginal cost, average total cost, marginal revenue, and demand curves in your diagram. What happens if the electricity industry is perfectly competitive? More specifically, let us assume that the marginal cost curve from part (a) is equal to the perfectly competitive market supply curve. In this case, show in a diagram what the perfectly competitive equilibrium price and quantity in this industry are. What will happen to the number of firms producing electricity in the long run? What does this say about the desirability of monopoly vs. perfect competition in this industry?…
. Profit maximization and loss minimization 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 Clancy 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…
